replacing fuel tank fuel level gauge, CD31

[jen1722terry]

Hi owners,

The fuel level gauge on our CD31 has stopped fuctioning (it stays on "E").

Does anyone know a source for a repacement gauge?

Thanks so much,

Since no one else has responded - I'll chime in.
You've probably already thought of this but -
I have no fuel gauge on my boat, so I keep a logbook of engine hours and how many gallons I put in each time I refill.
This has worked very well for me. The engine uses about 1/3 of a gallon per hour, so the math is easy.
Actually, there is a fuel gauge on top of the fuel tank but there is no way to read it the way the tank is mounted.

I believe the fuel gauges are all mechanical, it might just need to be cleaned. I added an access port on my 1985 CD30 tank a few years ago and in the process pulled the gauge, cleaned up the gook, replaced it, very straight forward.

Thx

When mine went bad, I replaced with a Tank Tender. It's a bit expensive, but works great. There are no moving parts, nothing
to break. It's been very reliable. I have the two-tank model and ran the other line to the holding tank.

is this the one that sits on top of the fuel tank? take it out and clean it .. mine had all sorts of goop on it.
