marine fuel gauge not working

If the marine fuel gauge is not working , the crew will make wrong judgments. For the crew, fuel gauge is an extremely important information prediction. It can tell us when the oil in the tank of the steamer will be used up, and then it will remind the crew to refuel, so as to prevent the ship from being unable to move when the oil is used up. It is also important to use the oil level sensor with the oil gauge.

The pointer of the marine fuel gauge does not work, most likely because the oil float is broken. It is recommended to connect the two oil slick pipelines to the repair shop. If the pointer of the oil gauge reaches the top, the oil float is damaged. If the detection line and instrument panel are still not moved. If the pointer just filled with oil does not move, that is, the oil float is basically pushed to the top of the oil tank by the buoyancy of oil, and the pointer connected to the sensor will not move. When a little fuel is consumed, the floating oil will drop and the pointer will move with the sensor.

Start to check whether the marine battery is charged. There is no problem when the gear display and headlights are on. When there is electricity, it is necessary to detect the oil level sensor, commonly known as the oil level indicator. If the oil gauge reacts, it is the float. If two wires of the float are short circuited. There is a small chip sensor on the top of the oil slick. It is possible that the golden finger is dirty due to poor oil, so it needs to be wiped with an eraser.

If the marine fuel level gauge scale suddenly drops to zero. The pointer of the marine fuel gauge almost depends on the oil level sensor, so the pointer of the marine fuel gauge is an intuitive way to display the symptoms of the fuel level sensor. If this happens, the oil level sensor of the ship is faulty. This situation may be that the oil level sensor is stained and needs to be cleaned immediately. If the ship has been used for more than 5 years, it is likely that the oil level sensor is physically worn and cannot continue to work normally.
