Fuel Level Gauge, Lever-Action - Part 05-16700

Part Number: 05-16700

Overview

This lever-action fuel gauge tracks tank level across a fractional dial, moving from full to empty. The 2-inch black dial face features matte-white graduations for easy readability, with a red warning sector marked "No Take-off" positioned below the 1/4 full mark to alert pilots of low fuel conditions. A cork float connected via a bendable wire arm rises and falls with fuel level, driving the indicator through a sealed magnetic coupling system.
