Which bulb is "fuel gauge?"

[Erik Jenkinson]

I went ahead and did the instrument panel cleanup, and painted the bezel and it looks great. I did however shortly burn my instrument panel light fuse. I know that the Gen2 and fuel gauge lights get a 194 bulb, the rest 168. Which socket exactly services the fuel gauge? there seems to be 2 near it. New fuse seems to be holding. I will replace them all tommorow. I think I've got a 168 where it doesnt belong.

Look at warthogs post "CUCV-Instrument Cluster Decoded" or TM-34P fig.42
I just did my instrument panel clean up before looking at this i have the same problem.
I put 194 bulbs in everything and blew the 5amp fuse. all lites work except my fuel/speedo gauge i didnt change the fuse yet. The TM says 12 of 168 bulbs and 2 of 194 i dont know if looking at the back of panel it shows 168 on top left corner of fuel gauge and 194 on the right

Found it. It is the innermost bulb that services the fuel gauge.
