So as you may or may not remember, as port of the restauration, I installed a new fuel tank. Because I can't leave things alone, I drilled a hole and installed a drain plug.
Either the rather massive plug warped during welding or it wasn't as flat as I had hoped to begin with. Anyway, going at it with a file for a while, sorted things permanently.
Installed an old TR1 oil-drainplug, because it has a built-in magnet, which should catch some of the rust-flakes that will unavoidably start floating around in the tank.
Now one doesn't get particularly spoilt by the lavish creature comforts in the Suzuki, but admittedly this is pretty much all that my fuel gauge was willing to let me know about the situation in the tank.
Installing a new sender is almost easy, as the opening in the tank has to be modified a little bit, as the late Maruti senders are rectangular boxes and slightly as the original Suzuki item.
And after one rather substantial investment of close to 40L of the finest unleaded petrol, one is presented with this rather epic result:
And I'll admit that having a fuel gauge, which whilst not really accurate, is still comforting.
