Good point Graham; that's true of the later Triumphs. However, on the TR2/3
and I assume other Triumphs before about 1960, the fuel gauge is fed with
full ignition voltage. It's a special (more expensive) "balanced" movement
that does not require a voltage "stabilizer" (but does require a good
ground).
To do this on a later car, you'll have to find ignition power somewhere else
besides the fuel gauge.
