Hi Wulffo ..Found it !....It says D7 but does not look like the usual type with string and float ; at least I can't see anywhere on the lower side for it to attach to a tube / pillar down to the tank .
Could it be if the type with float running up a spiral spindle (similar to Pfalz D types) with that bit missing .....Apart from 65l , no numbers..Strange ..
Does the D7 definately refer to " Fokker" .....A mystery , this one !
Regards John

have no idea what is going on there but if you put in the number into the search field 330353256737 that works.

Quite interesting. Very different from any photo or actual D VII gauge that I have seen. Not sure how it is supposed to work pneumaticaly?
Decreasing air pressure won't work as the system is constantly pressurized.
Anyone guess how this functions?

Could it be fuel pressure?
The markings don't look right but.....

It doesn't look like any WW I instrument gauge I have seen. In addition, why would they put D7 on it if it were referring to a D-VII?
