Gas Cap with Gauge Fit for Craftsman Husqvarna Mower Tractor Fuel Cap with Gauge Replace 152334 161493 532161493 532152334

What It Is

This is a replacement gas cap with an integrated fuel level gauge, designed for Craftsman and Husqvarna lawn tractor mowers. It lets you see how much fuel is left without opening the cap, useful for avoiding mid-mow refuel stops.

Fitment & Compatibility

Before buying, confirm your mower uses OEM part numbers 532152334 or 532161493 (also listed as 152334 or 161493). These fit many Craftsman LT1000, LT2000, and Husqvarna YTH/YTA series tractors with a standard 2-inch fuel tank neck opening. Check your current cap’s diameter and thread pattern – this cap is not universal. Measure the neck opening (inside diameter) and compare to the cap’s listed 2-inch fit. Verify your mower’s model number (e.g., 917.XXXXX for Craftsman) against the seller’s compatibility list. Aftermarket caps may vary slightly in thread depth; if your tank has a deep neck, it might not seal fully.

Key Things to Know

• Gauge accuracy: The gauge is a simple float mechanism – it gives a rough reading, not precise. Don’t rely on it for exact fuel level down to the ounce.
• Installation is tool-free: Just screw it on hand-tight. No special tools or modifications needed. Avoid overtightening – it can crack the plastic housing.
• Ventilation: This cap is non-vented (sealed). If your mower requires a vented cap for proper fuel flow, this won’t work. Check your old cap – if it has a small hole or valve, you need a vented replacement.
• Build quality: At this price point, the plastic gauge window may fog or yellow over time with sun exposure. Not a durability issue, but expect cosmetic wear after a season.

Should You Buy It

If you have a compatible Craftsman or Husqvarna tractor with a 2-inch unvented fuel neck and want a quick visual check before mowing, this cap is a cheap, easy upgrade. Skip it if your mower needs a vented cap or if you expect lab-grade accuracy from the gauge.
