REFLECTOR: Low fuel float switch

[Alex Balic]

if it is in the wrong position for you (N.O. vs. N.C) and it is the
gems type float switch, all you need to do is rotate it another 180 degrees,
and it will be the other way, although the level at which the switch closes
(or opens) will be a little bit different.

  Way back when, I bought and installed the low fuel level warning switch.
I wired it assuming that it is normally open when submerged and closed when
the level drops.  In doing electrical checks I find that with the sump empty
the switch is open.  There is a little arrow on the side of the flange which
is pointing "up"; so I think the orientation is correct.  Before I take it
out, I thought I'd check to see if for some strange reason it is closed when
the level is up, and vice versa.
