Spec required for VDO dip tube senders
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if a VDO dip tube sender would be suitable for use with an Acewell 3150 type dash unit (100 ohm required).
Does anyone know where I can find technical specs for these senders? I have tried the VDO-Siemens website but it is a typical corporate-waffle type
website with (as far as I can tell) very little substance.
I see that Merlin Motorsport sell these senders in a wide range of lengths and they don't seem too expensive but does anyone know where is the
cheapest place to buy them?
Thanks,
Craig.

Most of the VDO documents are on the website and the choice appears to be 0-90Ohm or 10-180Ohm
Which model dip tube you looking at using?

Hi,
Thanks for the link but unfortunately it doesn't appears to be the correct type of sender here.
Here is a link to the right type of sender:
http://usa.siemensvdo.com/products_solutions/special-oem-solutions/fuel-measurement/metal-tubular-type-sender/metal-tubular-type-sender.htm
It is referred to as a "Metal Tubular-Type" sender. The resistances may well be similar though but I'd like to be sure. I
can't find any data sheets or tech specs on the tubular type sender.
Cheers,
Craig.
