The fuel gauge for my oil tank, a Granby, is off by about 1/4 of a tank. Everytime the oil company comes to fill it, the gauge stops at a little over 3/4 of a tank; and, yes, I can do the math and realize that when it's near "E", there's really only 1/4 tank left of oil. BUT, I still want to adjust it.
Is this something I can do myself, and if so how, or should I just have the oil company do it?
Oh, the guage is on top of the tank. It's a glass tube with a disc attached to the top of a tiny rod inside that gradually lowers as the oil is depleted.

you trouble too lots, and connect too little :) Fan belt? Come on. Temp gage? you opt for that. A 28 year old vehicle isn't afflicted -- that's 28 years old. If it have been a subway vehicle, it may already be 8 years right into a midlife rebuilding, the place each equipment on the vehicle gets stripped and overhauled no be counted if it desires it or no longer. Subway platforms won't be in a position to have the money for unreliable automobiles, and this works. Overhauled automobiles are as stable as new ones. greater stable, in simple terms ask any rail equipment that's offered a fleet of recent automobiles with new layout flaws! The Mercedes is a sturdy, maintainable vehicle, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it does choose upkeep. And the gold standard thank you to keep away from breakdown is to be forward on the upkeep - understand each equipment is sturdy on the grounds which you have appeared at it. you probably did an ace job fixing the gas equipment, and now it's going to be rock sturdy for years. in case you provide a million/2 as sturdy an overhaul to the different platforms, they would be sturdy too. that's the kind you take care of older automobiles like this. The gas equipment subject sounds general. Diesels are not gas automobiles. Diesel gas is going stale. Diesel gas gets bacterial boost in it. Sitting for 9 months? Bingo. If somebody used biodiesel, i prefer to propose it in spite of the incontrovertible fact that that's a sturdy gas equipment cleanser which could loosen deposits in tank and strains and wash them into the clear out. take care of gas filters like a upkeep merchandise.
