[C320-list] Fuel Gauge and Shutoff

[hcreech at comcast.net]

All fuel gages on all C320's eventually fail, mine did five years ago. Since I hardly use the engine I don't care, but if you do I'm sure someone on this list will have numerous answers. 
As to the sea water, I stopped using it three years ago, what a remarkable difference. We leave the toilet in dry all the time and use the fresh water from the sink. Works really well but you do have to instruct newbees.

Hello All, 

The fuel gauge on my 2002 Mk 11 320 does not work. I unscrewed the 
float mechanism from the top of the fuel tank and determined that it 
floats freely. Should I replace the gauge or is there something else 
to check? Where should I purchase it? 

Also, I do not want to use sea water in my toilet. Where do I shut it 
off? 

Thank you!
