    Actually, Deb, that's the sending unit I installed in my water tank. I got
    it through an RV wholesaler in Virginia. Although it had a gauge at the top
    of the sending unit it also has provision to send the "signal" to any gauge.
    Since I already had a Tempo gauge installed in my panel with the wires
    already run to the top of the tank I just tied the new sending unit to the
    wires and the panel mounted gauge has worked fine.
