Faria Chesapeake Black 2" Fuel Level Gauge (Metric)

The Faria Chesapeake Black 2" Fuel Level Gauge (Metric) is a precision marine instrument designed for vessels requiring metric-calibrated fuel monitoring in demanding operational environments. Built by Faria Beede Instruments, a trusted supplier to military and law enforcement maritime units, this gauge delivers real-time fuel accountability essential for mission planning and extended-range operations. Whether deployed on patrol craft, tactical support vessels, or remote station tenders, accurate fuel indication directly impacts operational duration and mission success.

This fuel level gauge operates via low-amperage electrical signaling from a compatible tank sender unit, eliminating mechanical failure points common in older cable-driven systems. The perimeter-lighted black dial with blue and white graphics ensures readability during low-light operations, critical for night transit and tactical scenarios where interior lighting discipline is required. Construction features a polished stainless steel bezel—corrosion-resistant in saltwater environments—paired with a domed glass lens and contoured white pointer for precise needle positioning under all weather conditions. The 2-inch diameter face allows flush mounting in standard marine dashboard installations without requiring custom panel fabrication.

This gauge is ideal for maritime operators requiring metric fuel measurement standards across international deployments or domestic operations with metric-equipped vessels. Installation requires a compatible fuel tank sender unit and 12-volt electrical supply; ensure sender specifications match this gauge's low-amperage operating range to prevent damage. The compact 4 x 3 x 5-inch footprint and 0.4-pound weight make it suitable for weight-sensitive platforms where every pound affects performance. Consult your vessel's wiring schematic and sender compatibility chart before installation to guarantee proper fuel reading accuracy and instrument longevity.
