The fuel level 'sender' is the sensor in the tank. It does not incorporate a fuel line, although the coupe sensor has a fuel vent fitting. For the fuel outlet line, see Fuel tank.

Contents

Overview

To remove the sender, only a screwdriver and hammer is needed. Carefully drive the retaining ring anti-clockwise until loose.

Wiring

There is a single Yellow wire on the sender. It goes forward to the dash Fuel Gauge. The sender is grounded through the tank body.

See main article: Fuel Gauge Wiring

Sender Specifications

As measured by club members, by moving the float up and down from stop to stop:

NOTE: This does not necessarily match "Full" and "Empty" marks of the fuel gauge, due to normal manufacturing tolerances. Typically a 1200 reads well 'E' before it runs out of fuel, this is normal.
