Hi Everyone 

Just brought my 2nd Robin Hood need some advice it has a smiths fuel gauge and a sierra sender the gauge shows below empty even with fuel in it is there a compatible gauge for the sender as i do not want to be messing around with the tank or any other options 

Thanks Steve

I also have sierra sender and smiths guage which shows full untill the first gallon has been used and then about 15 miles after it hits empty the car stops.

I had to bend the sender float arm to achieve this.

I built the car and made sure that the float would touch the bottom of the tank which caused the float being limited to not reach the top of the tank as my tank is deeper than the sierra doner tank. I wanted empty to mean empty and was not bothered that ful reading means more than 3/4 full. It sounds like your builder did not consider this.

Hi Ian 

I take it the tank needs emptying to achieve this will give it a go this weekend 

Many thanks SteveO

Yes empty tank makes removing it easier.

Take care about any sparking with the tank open, disconnect battery before starting.
