To make certain, pull the 42/43 relay on the relay panel. If as I firmly expect the symptom continues you have a bad cap inside the gauge which you can fix or I can. Pmail me. If the symptom goes away when you pull the relay, pull the level sender from the pressure bottle and clean the pins vigorously with Scotch-Brite then report results. While you're back there looking at the pressure bottle, inspect closely for impending cracks. I'll have a couple pictures up shortly. Yours, David
