Fuel gauge ID please?

Hello all
I brought a box of old instruments and oxy regs the other day,
but i havnt been able to ID this fuel gauge?
Its made by General electric Canada. Cat no 56943-8
Type DJ-3 24 volts and has SER-4787-KB on the rear.
The dials are marked Front Rear and Middle
Thanks for any help.

Does it have an FG nos anywhere?

Nothing else Graham
It has “SER NO” on the face of the dial but no number?
Anyone think of anything with 3 fuselage tanks that might be around those capacities?
There was some Beaufighter and Mosquito gauges in with it if thats any clue?
And it does have the duel scales for tail down reading.

Its simliar in style to Mossy gauges but without AM or FG nos I cant look it up. Airminstry could probably tell you.

It doesn’t hold much does it?
:rolleyes:

Two 25s and an 18 gallon.

Thats what I thought Smirky, it wouldnt keep any twin flying for long or any
high HP single for that matter without external tanks?
So what single engined Tail drager has 3 fuselage tanks?
Thanks for help so far.

Hi Glenn most likely post war does not appear at all in ww2 RAAF instrument listings , having an uneducated guess DH Dove or perhaps Drover.

cheers dave

Hi Dave
Thats a couple i hadnt thought of, the Dove is probably ruled out because of the tail down scale. But the Drover being a tail drager and with the possability of haveing extra fuel tanks added for the extra engine would make sense. Ill see if i can find some drover info.
Thanks

My Guess is DHC Beaver or Otter due to the “clue” GE CANADA!!

A quick search on the web for cokpit photos has found this which appears to be very similar

The instrument in Question is just behind the white boot on the control column

Hope this might narrow it down

Cheers,
Chris

Hi Chris
I just found a copy of the POH for the beaver on the net and its spot on!
Three tanks under the floor and the capacities match.
Thanks for that Chris and to all others for the great sugestions.
