[Alpines] fuel sender measurement

[jacranwell at aol.com]

Bill,

I have a spare lying around in my shop somewhere, so I'll measure it this PM, and let you have the dims.

If it's leaking, it's likely to be the rubber washer/seal.

By the way, another potential cause for the gague not working is the balance pipe between the LH and RH tank being pinched/blocked. This prevents the LH tank from filling, and reads empty, even when the RH tank is full.

Julian.

Hello all

 

My fuel sender is not working, and worse, it is leaking.  I am going to pull
it out and bench test it (i.e. stare at it with a slack jaw and puzzled
look, most likely).  Prior to yanking it, I wish to fabricate a metal disk
to replace it for the time being.  Would someone have either a left hand
tank, or a sending unit, which they could measure and provide me with the
correct diameter?  That way I don't have to leave it open (we have an open
container law in my township!).

 

Thanks in advance,
