    Got to say poor design for a level gauge. Yamaha has a all in one design. Just pull it out and replace. Simple

    Tank in question is not a level gauge.

    Isn’t it part of the level gauge thought the magnet failed on the inside and you had to buy a new tank

    New to the opti world and this tank/ level is a common problem. Think I’m going to look into modifying an oil tank to except a Yamaha level gauge that just slips in.

    Good luck- it's simply an OPEN or CLOSED switch, BTW (NOT a level gauge or sender).

    One just came up for sale on Kijiji Ontario. I'd post a link, but I understand it is not allowed.
