Homemade fuel gauge

This video will show you a homemade fuel gauge I made for my moped. Basic tutorial included. The main body, including the mounting ring is aluminium and was made with a lathe. The float was made from a fishing net float. I had to experiment with different sizes to get it to work right. The ball bearing is originally for use in an Yo-yo, and the glass lens is for flashlights. Both was purchased from DealExtreme. To my knowledge, this is the only tutorial in the world on how to make a fuel gauge of this kind, and I may be the first one to have made one (as a DIY project) from the bottom. A challenging project with a satisfying result 29-03/13 Some minor changes had to be made. The gasoline would flow into the body when I shook the moped, thus making the paint vanish, and the rubber gasket did not seal well enough. I solved these problems by gluing the ball bearing to the body and I found some gasket silikone which I made a new gasket with. 30-03/13 Gluing the bearing did not prevent the gasoline from flowing into the body, so untill I find gasoline resistant paint, I can't have paint on the engravings. 28-06/13 A minor problem has now occured: the float does no longer float. So basically it's no longer functional. 05-07/13 The rubber gasket did not make it leak proof, so I applied gasket silicone around the whole part where the body is laying on the tank, and I hope this will make it leak proof until further development 08-07/13 Last update: I removed the gauge permanently. It stoped working, and I couldn't fill the tank completely full as the gas would flow into the panel and out under the glass lens. So I removed it and made a panel of stainless steel which I mounted over the hole. Turned out to be a fun project with a not so satisfying result Music: Art Of Gardens - Dan-O at DanoSongs.com (Royalty Free Music) Facebook page:   / steinbobkaare
