Abstract

The invention concerns a drawing and gauging device for a motor vehicle fuel tank, characterised in that it comprises two support assemblies (100, 200) mobile relative to each other when the device is being installed on site for use in the motor vehicle and an arm (450) pivotally mounted on one of the support assemblies bearing a gauging transducer (400), the arm (450) being maintained in retracted position, when stored, by the other element (200), such that the arm (450) is automatically unfolded when the device is installed.
