OVERVIEW

Miller 246181 Fuel Gauge and Hour Meter Overview

The Miller 246181 is a genuine OEM replacement Fuel Gauge and Electronic Hour Meter designed specifically for Miller engine-driven welding machines. This critical instrument cluster component is engineered to provide operators with accurate, real-time data regarding fuel levels and total engine runtime. Calibrated for machines equipped with a 12-gallon fuel tank, this gauge ensures that fuel readings are precise, helping to prevent fuel starvation during critical welding operations.

Maintenance is key to the longevity of industrial equipment, and the integrated hour meter on this unit is essential for tracking service intervals. By logging engine hours, maintenance teams can schedule oil changes, filter replacements, and inspections at the manufacturer-recommended 500-hour intervals or other specific milestones. The unit combines both functions into a single, compact 2-inch (approximate) gauge footprint, saving dashboard space and simplifying the machine's instrument panel.

Constructed to meet Miller's rigorous standards, this gauge is built to endure the high-vibration environment typical of diesel and gas engine drives. It features a clear, easy-to-read face that remains visible in outdoor lighting conditions. The electrical connections are designed to mate perfectly with the existing wiring harness of compatible Miller Bobcat and Trailblazer series welders, ensuring a hassle-free installation process without the need for wire splicing or modification.

FAQ

This gauge is designed for specific Miller engine-driven welders with 12-gallon fuel tanks, such as select Bobcat and Trailblazer models. Check your machine's parts manual to confirm compatibility.

No, it connects directly to the machine's existing 12V electrical system through the factory wiring harness.

Yes, this is a genuine Miller Electric OEM part, ensuring correct fit and calibration.

Typically, these hour meters are non-resettable to provide an accurate record of the machine's total lifetime usage.

It mounts into the instrument panel and connects via the rear terminals or plug. Always disconnect the battery before servicing electrical components.

If your old gauge was reading wrong, the issue could be the gauge itself or the fuel sender in the tank. Replacing the gauge is a common first step if the display is damaged.

No, this specific part (246181) is calibrated for a 12-gallon tank. Using it on a different tank size will result in inaccurate fuel level readings.

It typically includes the necessary bracket or bezel for panel mounting, but reusing existing hardware is sometimes required depending on the specific machine model.
