A fuel gauge assembly for mounting to the fuel tank of a small engine which is used with a lawnmower, lawn tractor, other outdoor lawn and garden implement, or off road or sport vehicle. The fuel gauge assembly generally includes an indicator housing and a float assembly. The indicator housing is mounted exteriorly of the fuel tank and includes a movable indicator element including a magnet or a magnetically attractive material. The float assembly includes a support member mounted interiorly of the fuel tank, and further includes an arm pivotally connected to the support member, the arm including a magnet or magnetically attractive material disposed adjacent the wall and a float for sensing a level of fuel within the fuel tank. When the level of fuel in the fuel tank varies, the float changes position such that the indicator element is moved to indicate the amount of fuel in the fuel tank.
