Built for the work it does.
The 6583 Series Senior gauge is designed for use in low pressure tanks 0-25 psi [0-1.7Bar]. Used in many applications such as construction equipment, stationary generators, boats, farm equipment and home healing.
Gauge materials are intended for middle distillates such as diesel and are not intended for use in fuels containing ethanol. These gauges may be sized to fit stationary fuel tanks up to eight feet deep.
Rochester gauge dials are magnetically driven. Fuel vapor cannot reach inside of the gauge lens and attack the UV rated lens material. Rochester gauges may be easily converted remote output by simply installing the R3D replacement dial and plug-in Hall Effect sender module.
Note: FOZF/T9 Flange / Gasket Adapter is required to use this model as a direct replacement for GLL28.

Accuracy
Accuracy depends upon proper gauge sizing. Senior dials ±6%, TwinSite® dials ±10%. Accuracy may be less depending upon tank shape. Accuracy may be less near full and empty. Accuracy may be less if tank is not level. All accuracy estimates are expressed as a percent of full scale.
CAUTION: This gauge is not a substitute for an automatic over-fill prevention device, which may be required for filling. This gauge is not to be used as an unattended means of determining tank overfilling. This document does not provide instructions for tank filling. Periodic operability checks may be required which are necessary to detect gauge malfunctions and/or inaccurate gauge readings. Gauge accuracy depends upon proper gauge sizing and installation. Release of tank contents as well as damage and safety hazard may result if tank is overfilled. Fuel exhaustion may occur if tank contents are less than indicated.
