[AT] Gas Tank sending unit needed

[Ralph Goff]

Somewhere in my "junk" collection is one of those old service station tank
measuring sticks with the painted marks and numbers used to determine the
level of the underground tanks. Another one of my auction sale acquisitions.
Too long to use in a tractor and in too good shape to start cutting it up.
I just use a piece of an old broken tape measure in my older tractors that
have no gas gauges. The Massey Super 90 has a gauge that does not work. It's
Perkins diesel runs so long on a tank of fuel that I have a hard time
remembering just when I last checked it.
