Italian term or phrase: Misuratore
Buonasera.......L'espressione integrale è "Misuratore di miscela". Secondo voi, è adeguato renderla in Italiano con "Meter mix?"
Vi fornisco, ovviamente, la frase integrale: "Misuratori di miscela italiani e stranieri, con sistema a “Galleggiante”. So che auspicate di avere più contesto, ma sono frasi isolate e non servirebbe a nulla. Vi basti -Spero!- sapere che sono commenti ad alcune didascalie che "Immortalano" delle Vespa del passato.
Grazie in anticipo a tutti, come sempre!

fuel gauge


Explanation:
sounds like this to me - miscela is the fuel used in the Vespa - I had 2 or three don't recall now - great machines except for the smoke.
If there is a float, then it is the gauge that tells you how much fuel you have in the tank. the fact that its a mix is not relevant - it's the fuel that counts cause they were a pain if you had to push them when it ran out.

neutral  Gian: Anche le auto hanno bisogno del "fuel", ma non è una miscela di olio e benzina; solo i motori a due tempi usano la "miscela" Two-stroke fuel

Explanation:
Spiegazione:
Si tratta di miscela combustibile tipica dei motori a due tempi, come quello della Vespa. Poiché si parla di un "misuratore a galleggiante" ritengo si tratti di misurare il livello.

La prima cosa da ricordare quando si entra in possesso di una Vespa, è che tutti i modelli classici hanno il motore a 2 tempi, quindi funzionano con una miscela di olio e benzina...
