Morris Minor 1000 - Fuel Gauge

So, today we fixed the fuel gauge system on our Morris Minor. We thought it might be useful to share the fault finding method we used in order to locate the problem.

That sender looks very much like Chineseium. The original wouldn't have had any plastic. 10/10 for your diagnostics and repair, though I thought you might have removed the corrosion. Sure, it goes in the tank and no one will ever see it but...
I dunno must be my OCD.
When I was young, I hated the minor, loved the mini but hated the minor. Even when it was new it looked old. But these days, I don't know why, I have a new appreciation for them, wouldn't mind owning one now. There's one near me that's a pick-up, I don't know if the owner converted it or if they were ever available with a pick-up body.

The sender didn't look that old close up and I don't think it had survived very well - so yeah - poorly made. I cleaned it up the best I could in the time I had. There is a fuel filter before the pump so if anything comes off it and makes it that far it should be caught. I guess coming out in 1948 and running until 1971 it was always going to look old compared so so much around. I wasn't a fan in the 80s and went the Ford route, but these aren't bad old busses and they have a certain charm for sure.

Hi wonder if you can help identify a fault with s minor 1955 furl gauge. Without turning the ignition it shows empty (its mot stuck) and only moves to show 1/4 a tank despite being full. Any thoughts and assistance greatly appreciated. Thanks

[@hujiproductions8457]

Hi, I think I would start at the sender end, quite possible that the float is stuck in that position, does happen.
