King seeley gas gauge tip

Posted by Barry Lowe On 2016/9/25 21:38:02

I have a king seeley gauge on my 31 packard 833, I decided to try and get it working and realized the very small copper line that supplies the actual gauge was stopped up.
I was told Id probably have to cut the line rod it out and solder it back.
I decided to try another route first.
I decided to flood the glass end and the brass body with first: denatured alcohol for 24 hours, then brake clearer for 24 hours, then CLR for 24 hrs and mineral spirits for 24 hours. then eery day I would apply compressed air to both sides of the blockage....
finally yesterday it broke thru so I ran each of the products mentioned above thru it to clean it better.
Im ver happy to announce the gauge now has new fluid in it and working well.
I hope maybe this weill help someone out there since you guys have helped me so much
Thank you again
