How does the Westy gas level indicator work?

I have removed mine to clean it and when I put it back it was almost like a compass moving to a certain reading - is this correct?

Also, does anyone know where you can get the gas tank/control cover from?

sounds to me as though theres a float in the tank with a magnet on it and when you offer up your gauge it re-aligns itself, hence the compass effect

I'm guessing here as I've never seen one but I'm an Instrument Engineer and magnetic followers are simple and effective for local level indication
