Faria Fuel Gauge Needed

Peter Dobie · 25 January 2016, 20:25

Hi, this is a long shot but I need a faria fuel gauge to suit my other gauges. The style I'm after should be in the picture, if anyone has anything that's close they would want to sell please let me know!

I have several gauges that I don't need that will be up for sale soon, including the fuel gauge that I currently have that uses the wrong ohms for my needs.

My sender is 10/180 ohms , so I hope this means the faria gauge would work??

Also I need a water pressure gauge to check water flow so if anyone has one of these that's close let me know!

Thanks for reading!

Asap supplies in Norfolk do all the faria gauges and there not expensive about 20 quid ish if I remember correctly

I tried ASAP when I was refurbing my SeaRay and I just got messed about for weeks with gauges that were "out of stock" and when they came in others that enquired about were out.

Phoned Rex marine in CA at 11:00pm Monday.....Parts arrived 03:00PM Wednesday. Total cost £320 against ASAP's £500. Rex CA.....absolute stars...everything off the shelf

I've done 2x twin engine dash replacements with gauges from asap and had no problems but everything was in stock that I needed
Was that price including vat and import duty or did you manage to dodge the duty? If that was the US cost then if you got captured for vat and duty and charges there wouldn't be much difference

Cheers for the response, ive been going through the asap pages but they dont seem to have a direct match, seems like an odd version i might have, so if nobody has one the same i might end up using them! Cheers

Not sure of the breakdown, but they used UPS to deliver door to door and £320 was what I paid....I also had problems trying to register with ASAP more recently and couldn't buy from them on-line unless I was registered, eventually threw in the towel again and bought from elsewhere. Their catalogue is impressive but I just found they threw obstacles in your way when you tried to give them your custom.

Faria do some specials for boat builders who will buy large enough quantities is it a us boat? There is an eBay seller great lakes skipper on Ebay. Com who does a lot of old stock stuff maybe worth a look

The boat is uk based, ive been looking on ebay.com and have found a few matches, but i know ill get crunched when it crosses into the uk! But i have used ebay.com for looms etc and it excellent as the used parts market in the US is huge. So might be an option again!
