Re: [T3] stuck gas gauge

>>>can it be fixed?<<<
My square has been sitting for 11 years and the gauge didn't work because 
of varnish in the sender tube / float. I removed the assembly from the tank 
and soaked it upright in kerosene for days...I would go to it everyday and 
pull it out of the solvent and let it drain, then reinsert and let it fill 
back up again....did this a bunch of times to flush it out.....This worked 
well for me and my gauge seems to be working good.....this also allowed me 
access to see down into the tank, right where the fuel lines exit and enter 
the tank so I could flush out the tank as well and do a visual till 
clean!......sounds like you will be flushing out your tank as well......
