My Scullly oil gauge doesn't work anymore, it's attached to a Ventalarm gauge
type VGA, I can unscrew the top plastic gauge and I can pull the inside metal
pole up and down with some resistance but it just returns to empty when the
gauge is back on even when the tank is full. I looked at replacement parts
and it looks like the entire top Ventalarm gauge that also houses the intake
pipe has to be removed, I was hoping I could just pull the mechanism up
through the hole where the plastic gauge screws in but doesn't look like I can
do that? Am I right? Should I have my oil company do it?

What would they charge, if anything?

Personally I have a contract on HVAC service and mine would do it as
part of the service.

I was interested in looking at it and it looks like something I could do
when I was younger. You can buy the parts but might have to deal with
things like rusted fittings. There are youtube videos on doing it. It
is like a lot of jobs that you can do yourself but pros can do better.

Wake up! You asked a similar question regarding your whistle. My answer is
the same; call the oil co.
