Fuel sender issue

ams

Hi, Fuel sender issue - I have a 2002 180BR with 23gal Florida Marine fuel tank.  The sender (float arm type) has stopped working (gauge and wiring ok) and would like to replace with pole type - how do i find out the resistance range of the sender for the replacement?

 

with thanks

those five screw bulk head fitting critters are, more often than not, 35-240ohm's standard...

Great - any advice on where I can purchase one? Thanks

any of the usual suspects... west marine, northern tool, iboats, ect... just get the depth of your tank to depth of the pole right, and you should be set... I just installed (six months ago?) a sender/float in a transfer tank, and got the thing from northern tool... or maybe it was amazon, actually, but sold through northern tool.

be aware: the five bolt fittings only fit on the tank one way, it is a smart plan to adhere the cork (make sure it's cork) gasket to the sender/basket mating surface before trying to attach it to the tank.. otherwise, it can become a maddening process quickly. :-)
