Modular Fuel Sender




The modular fuel sender assembly is attached to the top of the fuel tank, and extends from the top of the fuel tank to the bottom.

The modular fuel sender assembly consists of the following major components: a fuel sender cover assembly, fuel pipes (above cover), a fuel pump, a fuel pump strainer, a fuel pump reservoir, an external fuel sender strainer, a ceramic card fuel level sensor assembly, and a fuel tank pressure sensor.

The fuel level sensor assembly consists of the float, the wire float arm, and the rheostat. The fuel level is sensed by the position of the float and float arm, which operates the rheostat. As the float position changes, the amount of current passing through the rheostat varies, thus changing the gauge reading on the instrument panel.

The modular fuel sender assembly mounts to the opening of the plastic fuel tank. The spring loaded reservoir. The design provides:
^ Optimum fuel level in the integral fuel reservoir during all fuel tank levels and driving conditions.
^ Improved tank fuel level measuring accuracy.
^ Improved coarse straining and added pump inlet filtering.
^ More extensive internal fuel pump isolation for noiseless operation.
