Fuel tank sender unit

[Jonny]

The sender unit does not work and Redbay advised me not to replace it as it would brake the seal is there any other way of seeing how much fuel there is left and how much you are using with out dipping the tank all the time.

fuel flow meter,
if you know the size of your tank it'l tell you how much of it you've used........

Thanks wil get to know how big it is.

can't see a problem with "breaking the seal", post a pic of your sender, it's a simple enough swap if you can access it easily.

Yes, just done mine, new senders should come with new seals, otherwise it's typically 5 bolts and a couple of wires to connect....

Just need to make sure the new sender is (a) the right flange fitting, there's a quite common standard ("SAE"?) 5 -hole one where the spacing isn't quite equal, (b) the right resistance, some (US-based?) ones are 30 ohm full 240 ohm empty, others are I think 180 full 10 empty (so work the other way round!) and (c) the right length for the depth of the tank

"Don't replace it?" From the manufacturer? That's quite shocking isn't it? There HAS to be another side to this story.

My way of thinking is. Someone put it in there the first time so what's stopping someone doing it again

That'd be my thinking too Biffer. I think they must reckon all customers (and their tradesmen) are numpties......
