To check the gauge remove the wire from the sender ,switch on ignition and the gauge should read empty , then connect this wire to a good earth and it should read full . If your gauge is normally reading full it could be the wire is earthing somewhere.

Thanks for that Jim, as soon as get a bit spare time, I’ll get that checked out.

I found a second hand big hose for free in a scrapyard out of a 4×4 Toyota. The vent hose came from the same “source”
Not so many cars use that kind of “flexible technology” nowadays but maybe classic car parts dealers such as MG or Land Rover specialists might have the suitable size.

I had thought of that, but sometimes you can spend more time running around scrap yards, than it does to pay for a new one, some times. 😕

Thanks for the replies lads, I think I’ll just order a new hose during the week and let you know how I get on. 😀
