Fuel Guage

PostPost by: Tonyw » Fri Apr 06, 2012 2:22 pm

Hi all,

Just trying to put the finishing touches on my Elan SE and I have a problem with my fuel guage, I have an FG2350/71 guage which requires a 0-90 ohm sender and these are not available so consequently my fuel guage is not working, I have a 6 hole sender that is 240 - 30ohms so I was wondering if anyone knew what car the fuel guage came out of that fits that particular sender? I do have a voltage stabiliser which provides a very steady 12.2volts. I thought it might be easier to get a guage to fit the sender rather that a sender?? any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

You can get a replacement sender from Axminster Specialist Panels. I have one of their fuel tanks and the quality is excellent.

Carl,

I wish... Andy's site specifies the fuel sender as unavailable I should have got one when I first saw the site...............

Have you tried P Matty for the 0-90 ohm sender unit
