Which way in does the sender unit go?

Hi All

Just fitting a new sender unit but it feels like the float is hitting something inside the tank when i twist it.
Should it go in with the float to the right as i look towards the front of the bus from the back as in the image?
The old one came out that way

Cheers
Chris

 

Float is drivers side

See this . Cheap sender problem i had. Might be a good idea to check if it leaks in thewhite bit in the middle .before you close it up . These senders aren't sealed so well ....so dony fill the tank if you can help it ..when your done. Or do what i did, cut the hole . Cover windows with paper so the flying bits dont stick to glass, cut three sides and slice the other count the ribs . And cut on the low valley .

I'd say it should go to the left, there is probably a baffle round the outlet which is to the right and that would be what it's hitting!

 

Yes thats correct. ..
The float goes to the left side of bus as you stand behind the bus facing foward .

Instructions are as follows :

You put your right hand in,
You put your right hand out,
You put your right hand in,
And you shake it all about,

You do the hokey pokey
and you turn yourself around
That what it's all about. ,!

 

Lol
Put it in and out
Did the hokey pokey
Now the flipping fuel gauge isn't budging
What's that all about
Tested before installing and was working ok but slow now nothing :-(

 

I'm in Melton Mowbray but it's a Rh drive

 

Did you shake it all about .?

 

Remove the nuts holding the fuel guage wires to the guage .in the dash
Clean all contacts with sandpaper.
. Put the key on when you put it back together and see if it moves .
Remove the wires to the positive of the coil . So you dont burn anything out .
Its a fiddly affair that job .
Theres a small screw in the guage . It will most likely need adjusting , turn to right for more reading ..

 

Twice
It seems to work when I Earth the unit into the body

 

. Cheap Sh't. Senders .
Play with the wires . Soray it with some electric cleaner or wd40

Did you change your fuel lines in there !
It the motor out etc.?

 

No havnt changed anything
PO cut an access hole in the top so justbtook the old one out that way
Cheers

 

Are the wires on right ? Dark one is ground . .

I have to go out . So maybe someone else can pick up this thread right now for you .
Cheers.

Dont ever fill the tank if you dont know the condition of your rubber in the tank area!!

Youve been WARNED !

 

Check your earth wire on the sender's got a good contact at both ends

 

Hi Flakey
Checked the earth wire and it looks ok. Will re-check again
Cheers

 

I'm having problems putting the sender in, if you have not got the fuel gauge working yet I can help with that bit... I did an A3 on how to fix the fuel gauge..do a search for fuel gauge and my user name Wonty as the author..you'll pick it up that way..currently on phone so struggling with a link...sorry

 

Hi all thanks for your input.

So after following dubsurftones advice of putting my right hand in, out and shaking it all about. I started to adjust the vibrator at the back of the gauge and this seemed to work a little but I had a spare one, so installed that and and Ta-da working fine!!!! So did the hokey pokey and turned myself around to celebrate !! CHEERS

Off to the lakes this weekend. First big trip hope the weather holds out !!!

 

Me again !!!!
Thought I had done the gauge but on the way to the lakes the gauge didn't move off just over half way and then during the week moved to empty, back to 1/4 full and then no reading at all. Any thoughts/ advice much appreciated

 

my float was on the left mines a rhd bud as long as the electric soleniods are facing out towards the back of the bus so you can connect it back up.

 

Hi Brucieboy mines a RHD as well all seemed to work fine but testing it now and can't get s reading on the gauge, re- tested the sender and that's ok Stumped!!
