Fuel Sender for Acewell 3850
SJ - 21/7/16 at 06:19 AM

Hi guys, Has anyone got definitive advice on an aftermarket fuel sender that works well with the above Acewell? My Sierra sender has fallen to bits so needs replacing. There are several float / arm type universal senders on ebay that look OK, plus Acewell's own but I fancy one of the boat dip tube types. I've searched on here but can't find anything concrete.


Thanks

Stu

They will work with any fuel sender with a resistance of 0 - 100, 250 or 500 ohms. The 3xxx series is not "resistance reversible", so if the boat sender works the opposite way, then at worst you'd have it reading full when empty & vice versa, would still be accurate tho' just "upside down"

Thanks Russ. Have ever used one of the ace well senders? Also, is 0 ohms full or empty?

I've never actually used one of the Acewell senders personally as we use the Toyota sender in our car, I've sold quite a few of them & people have reported back as giving very steady & consistent readings

I believe it's 0 ohms for full with increasing resistance towards empty, but I can't remember for sure as all the newer gauges can be reversed, as already said, in worst case gauge would work upside down, as long as you're aware of that it's not actually a problem as should still be accurate, if particularly fussed you could put a signal inverter in the line

Thanks. Are you still supplying the acewell senders?

I'm no longer dealing with the parts side of business, only the cars, but if you speak to Oliver at Furore Products, info@furoreproducts.co.uk, or furoreproducts@hotmail.com, 07905 879407, he should be able to supply you one, I doubt he'd have one from stock, but can get them in easily enough, but I know Acewell are on a vacation shutdown this week, think they are back next week, discounts on these are miserly unfortunately!
