12 Volt fuel tank sender unit

[Charles Levien]

I will be removing my 6 volt one towards the end of the week ,I dont know if it works or not or if its the guage ,but as I am now 12 volt on my Ruby I have bought a Midget fuel guage and 12 v sender . You are welcome to mine FOC , just cover the post and packing.

Sent you a private message Nigel.

Just adding a two-pennyworth for completeness. It is my understanding that there are two types of sender unit and two types of fuel gauge - and they only work with their respective types. Maybe to do with polarity? If I have dreamed this or made it up then will someone please correct me.

Thanks for both replies -- will try and remove gauge tomorrow, a la reckless.

I will send off the gauge and sender to be checked for compatibility and than all should be revealed.

Many thanks Nick. Really appreciated.

I loosened the gauge clamp and brought the gauge forward to have a shufty and then, with ignition switched on, the thing jumped into life showing the correct amount of fuel in the tank so presume it to be have been a poor earth -- nice to find the answer.
