    Abstract: A tank gauge system is provided in one embodiment comprising a float, a cable, an indicator and at least one cable guide support. The float is in a tank containing liquid and moves with it. The cable connects the float to the indicator on the outside through the cable support for communicating the liquid level in the tank. The cable support comprises a body having two side openings merging into a cavity formed on a top portion of the body. A roller is positioned in the cavity, between the two openings and is rotatable about an axis transverse to the direction of cable movement. The roller has a predetermined axial length that is substantially wider than each of the openings so that the cable moving through the openings is urged to maintain contact with the roller. This prevents the cable from coming off the roller and minimizes jamming.
