Fitting a fuel Sender
Hi, the car i have just purchased does not have a fuel sender in the tank it however does have a digi dash that can receive from one, this is the
first job i want to do on the car however im worried about doing it because wont aluminium shards fall inside the tank?
Just wondered the best way to go about doing this?
thanks

I would say use a hole saw and go nearly though and try and snap the disc out
What car did you get in the end have you any photos we can see

wouldnt i risk bending the tank doing that? am i right in thinking aslong as i use inline fuel filters that i change regularly at first i will be
ok?
I ended up being a bit silly lol i settled on wanting a car engine but ended up with a Hayabusa MK Indy R because i got it for good money and i know i
wont be diasappointed, ill get some pictures up when i get it on tuesday

Before you start make sure that the sender you use is compatable with the gauge/dash. IMHO an inaccurate fuel gauge is worse than no gauge.

yeah my first job was to check the resistances the dash reads! Do i just measure the depth of the tank and get a sender the size closest to that?

One thing to look out for is the baffles hitting the sender arm

Dip tube senders are available in various depths and don't need to clear any baffles provided it is installed away from any . Normal Euro range
is 10 to 180 ohms Have a look at the ASAP marine suplies website , seems to be a very good price for dip tubes
