I owed a Sptifire in the late '70's with a similar fuel
gauge problem. Turns out the float developed a pin-
hole leak, filled with fuel, and sank to the bottom - thus
giving an empty reading all the time. I removed the
whole assembly (amazingly easy to do), dried out the
float, applied some epoxy glue to the pin whole, and
solved the problem (I was too cheap to spring for a
new float).
