Brief Description: Fuel Tank Sender 2
|
|
After considerable consternation, I ended up using the VDO fuel senders. I bent the top bracket over a 1.10 inch steel block. The bottom two screw holes were cut off with a band saw, the cut being necessary owing to the height of the fuel tank. In order to get the requisite height, the sending units were inverted in comparison to the standard installation, and the float goes on the opposite side of the usual placement. The bottom fuel sender screw hole goes in the remaining screw hole on the bracket. A pivot-center to float-center distance of 3-3/8 inches was used. It was necessary to adjust the "clock" or rotation of the bracket relative to the fuel sender flange, in order to get full travel of the variable resistance. The VDO sender, because of its stoutness, barely fits in the flange hole. In fact, in order to get the sender installed, the bracket and sending unit were installed first, and the flange and gasket had to be put into place with the bracket already in the tank, a little bit like putting a sailing ship model in a bottle.
