Need Quick Help..Leaving Tommorow Night

[Killo1]

About to go on one week boon docking in Lake Tahoe area. Just realized after refilling my freshwater tank (about a week ago) that my fresh water gauge says I'm only 1/3rd full.

Any quick fixes.

When you filled the tank did it overfill and spill back out from the fill neck? If it did then your guage must be malfunctioning. I know nothing of guages for tanks as we rough it in a '66. Nothing too fancy....just a spilling of water from the fill neck when the tank can't accept anymore. Don't let the faulty guage deter you from a good time. Take an extra 5 gal. jug f water in case you run out. It is a nice area in and around Tahoe to camp. We know as we are just down HY50 from there.

Alan,

New Airstreams are notorius for having level sensors that don't read properly. There is a pamphlet in your owners material that details how to reset the indicators. If that doesn't work, call the Factory and get a new unit. They are used to replacing these as it happens a lot!

Mine are off but I haven't had the time yet to re-calibrate them.

Lew,
It worked with the first tank of water I had, I watched it go down. Is it normal for it to go out of calibration for no apparant reason?

Thanks

Filling full with a hose is easy, so I'll assume that is occurring. Yes, going out of calibration is something of a problem in spite of the gauge working correctly the first time. And the error was usually a lot, not a little -- how would we know?

Aha! We beat this to death in this thread. I have seen the MicroPulse instructions to which Lew refers. Here are online instructions to calibrate:

Hope you get this squared away -- but have a good trip!
