Material is 1/4" thick.
5. Make up an anchor by cutting a 4" X 16" piece of 1/4" thick material.
Bend each end down at 90 degrees (see the diagram), so the resulting
flat piece is about 4" X 10" inches with 3" sides. Drill a hole to insert a
2" schedule 40 pipe in the center of the plate, weld tube to plate. Insert
the bar into the tank and slide the anchor assembly over the sensor
bar with the "U" facing down. Align the sensor bar vertically and weld
the anchor in place to the bottom of the tank. Pull the sensor bar up a
bit and slide the float (cone side up) over the bar. Lower the bar back
into the anchor. Tighten the base of the compression fitting into the
coupler. Lift the bar 2" off the bottom of the tank, and tighten down
the compression fitting nut. Raise and lower the float a few inches to
set the bottom reading.
6. Pick a spot for the display. It should be easy to see and out of direct
road spray and protected from driving rain.

7. Route 1/4" Nylon air brake hose from the sender head to the display
and fasten with brass inserts and compression fittings at each end
(the brass inserts may be part of the fitting). If the holes are not pre-
drilled in the display enclosure, drill holes into the Valox box close
enough to the base of the box to avoid contacting the lid flange.
Never drill holes into the top of the box since water will leak in. If the
hole has been tapped too large, Teflon tape can be used on the fitting
to ensure a proper seal. Make sure that the lid is not on the box when
drilling to avoid damaging the display electronics.
