Jeff, that's so funny that what you recommended is exactly what I came
up with! I found an old bubble bottle and got a big old drill bit in
it for some weight. I am going to soak it in water overnight so I can
get as much of the label off before I sink it tomorrow. The gauge
still works great, I'm excited that I'll be able to save it. I got a
fill up today of 204 gallons and the gauge said 65 this morning before
I left the house - I assume that means I have about 5 gallons of
sludge at the bottom of my tank!- Hide quoted text -

if the gauge *is that old, you might want to check the condition of
the bottom of the TANK as well.

The bottom of the tank looks pretty good, a tiny bit of rust but seems
rock solid to the touch. Any other warning signs I should be looking
for?
