This is a built in feature of Smiths fuel gauges.
There was a discussion in January about "Gauges fogging up".
I think my explanation was accepted by everyone involved. I wrote:
"IMO the truth is, that warm air can hold more moisture than cold air, when
the coil in the gauge heats up it will heat up the air around it. That
heated air will attract the moisture in the air around it. When that heated
air then hits the cold parts of the gauge the moisture will condense. This
is most visible on the inside of the glass of course. This is probably the
coldest part of the gauge anyway, at least in this country."

Dmne: Gas tank and gague
I am getting ready to put a new aluminum tank and sender unit in a 67 BJ8. I
just noticed condensation on the inside of the glass on the fuel gague. If
this is an issue I would like to send the gague out over the winter to be
looked at and possibly repaired/rebuilt. Has anyone run into condensation on
fuel gague inside the glass? Thoughts? Name of good rebuilder if it should
be
sent out? These are Smith gagues. Thanks in advance and please reply off
line
