    So as much as I love my 46 I hate not having a fuel gauge its always a guessing game. All my books say the boat holds 500 gall of diesel anyone know if that's true as well ?? Just wondering what the options maybe for setting up a gauge..

    Over 25 years ago, I started working on a Roamer Houseboat fuel system with a defective tank level system. I contacted Rochester Gauges. They sent a pair of spiral mechanical / electric sending units that are still working perfect.

    First things first?

    When replacing my galvanized steel tanks (40 years later) wanted gauges as well. Had to order tanks with built-in SENDING UNITS. Regular tanks do not have them. The sticks never LIES however.
