F-19 style fuel gauge

[Taylorcrafty]

Anyone know where to procure one?

check the post next to yours, guy parting out F19 and has a tank with gauge

I have a complete F-19 Nose Tank with a functional fuel gauge if you're interested? If so please give me a call at 907-441-5527.
Thanks, Tom

So I'm guessing the gauge itself cannot be purchased?

Stoddards may have a used one on the shelf, or if you can ever get ahold of Dan who used to own reeves, maybe he would know what boat tank one was original

Here's the source, it might take a little legwork.

Thank you everyone

The F-19 is a round vertical carousel gauge inside a clear plastic cap not flush with the tank. The adapter collar may be the same. Not sure of a current source.

Rochester gauge maybe a source

Yes I should have a look at mine tomorrow for a part number. There's two round gauges...one for C-85 (Model 19?) and F-19 and Taylorcraft P/N's but that's worthless. Rochester might know. It looks like a gauge for a boat or truck bed tank that can be read from the side not the top. I have Gilberti paperwork when he was at the factory that describes the round gauge. The factory offered the C-85 and G/W with fuel mods before he developed the STC SA1-210. It's called a "Majestic Fuel Gauge" #BA38-1 on his drawings.

Bingo. Not sure of the length but measure the tank depth. Have the threaded adapter collar and ring assembly welded to the tank:

I wonder who makes them?

[PA1195]

A call to ACS would be the best way to discover the manufacturer. They have to be placed inside the cockpit and clear the windshield. The height of the welded collar would affect that placement as well.

I'll look at mine for a manufacturer's name on the plastic cover.

A lot of Pitts aircraft use these too, or something very similar. I have seen them on the S-2. A call to Aviat may therefore help.

As far as I know this precedes STC SA1-210 and was from the factory.
