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. This wire is grounded through the sender resistance.

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.

Fuel Gauge Specifications

From the 1973 Datsun 1200 Factory Service Manual
Ohms Mark
35   Half
Stock Fuel level gauge, ss measured by club members:
* Empty mark: 73-88 ohms input
* Full mark: 12 ohms

ang94541 uses an aftermarket Autometer 3515, which does doesn't match the Nissan sender except at the empty mark. It is designed for the unusual Ford senders.

* 3515 Empty mark: 73 ohms 
* 3515 Full mark: 10 ohms
