Abstract

Electrical indicator of the fuel level contained in the tank of a motor vehicle, comprising: - a support element located in the tank; - a mobile float with respect to the support element; - a resistor comprising a resistor and a cursor related to each other and subject to displacement due to displacement of the float; - the aforementioned resistor is connected in a circuit so as to vary the current flowing therein as a function of the fuel level in the reservoir, characterized by the fact that: - the support element is formed by an elongated cylindrical container (a), made of stamped plastic material, of a length substantially corresponding to the height of the tank and placed, for use, inside the tank in a vertical position; said container (a) has at its upper end means (9) for fixing to the tank and at the lower end holes (3) that put in communication the cavity of the container (a) with the outside; - the float (16) has an elongated cylindrical shape, moves longitudinally and is mounted in the internal cavity of said container (a); its length is substantially equal to the length of the internal cavity; - a contrast spring (29) is located between the float (16) and the container (a) and tends to move the float (16) towards the lower end of the container (a), and -the float (16) carries the resistor (26) and the container (a) carries the cursor (35) of the rheostat.
