This is funny, I thought I was on some banished list because no one had posted a reply to my question when it was only no one understood what TLI meant.
OK Guys here you go. TLI = Tank Level Indicator, TLI is a universal term used in the commericial/Naval ship world that represents ANY unit or components used to measure liquid / volume in a tank. (Remember I retired from Norfolk Naval Shipyard engineering department) I had to deal with TLI's (and 9 million other things, the structural division for submarines was known as the REDHEADED Step Children of engineering) in my line of work. TLI is either electrical or mechanical. The one tsubaki showed in his post is a low grade unit that only lets you know if the tank/container is full. It cannot give incremential levels. My TLI is the sending unit int the gas tank. I took mine out and went up to my local marine guy and he ordered me one like what I have. I'm putting it in today. But thanks for responding as I said I thought I was on a blacksheep list.   Lee "garage"

I was hoping it wasnt just me. Ive worked on boat since I was old enough to turn a wrench and didnt know what you meant.
So you need a fuel sending unit then? We can help you with that.

Just make sure to cut the rod so that it is about an inch from the bottom of the tank. This way when you show empty you still have a little left.

I'll translate your "Navy speak" to "redneck speak". "My fuel gauge don't work right!"

FUNNY Now that were all on the same page, wind, language, yes it was the sending unit in the tank. I replaced it today and it appears all went well.
Speaking of this I calculated the route we took Sunday from Oregon Inlet to Corolla light and including the trolling we went 130 miles (47 mi ea way (94 total) and the rest trolling). I filled the tank after the TLI repair and it took 39 gallons to fill, that came out to 3.3 miles to the gallon running there and back at 3200 rpms. (350 eng). I didn't think that was too bad. What do ya'll think?
