BX23 Fuel Guage ?

[JOHNTHOMAS]

I can say the same about my BX25. What about yours JT?

My BX25 has worked fine up until the spout off my 5 gallon fuel container fell in the fill hole last week, may not work as accurate in the future. My previous BX2660 was never usable.

Don't worry about that. I had one fall in months ago...:ashamed:

Did you ever get it out? I couldn't find my flexible push the end and open the claws tool, brother couldn't find his either so I had to buy another one. No success with it so far, to short. Having to wait till fuel gets lower level and then I'll park it on a hiilside with the cap on the low side and see if it will float down closer to the lid and maybe be able to grab it.
Tried to talk my grandson into sticking his arm in and seeing if he could get it but alas he preferred not burning his arm up with deisel fuel over helping his Papaw. He was about ready to do it then he asked if it would hurt and I sort of hesitated with my answer and sort of hum hawed to long so he reniged on his offer to go for it with his little arm. Maybe his twin sister will try it for a dollar.

Exact same story :laughing:...we could not find our tool either, so we had to buy a new one. That did not work, so we got my sister to stick her arm in the tank. She couldn't feel it. We just left it for now...no ill affects so far.

Thanks. I've been running mine with no real worry. About only concern is may interfere with fuel guage.
I read the thread you posted/linked above and left my comment of how I dropped mine in.
