Gentlemen
I've just opened and cleaned up the tank sender unit for the fuel warning
light.
Inside I found a single strand wire running from the brass spindle of the
moving contact up to the hole where the insulated terminal exits. It seems to
be there to ensure that the moving contact is earthed to the case, rather than
just relying on the circuit through the pivot pin. It's a few years now since
I looked inside one of these switches - is that wire standard, or has someone
added it?
To forestall those who would write to say that the unit is
useless/unnecessary/will always leak/etc, let me say that we drove our first
TC 80,000 miles and we found the warning light really useful. I don't remember
it leaking either. So I want this one to work.
Thankyou all for your assistance.
Regards
Dave Dwyer

thought I'd be glad to hear a forecast promising a week of rain!)
