'48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
Got a call into Fred at Southside but haven't heard back.
Which one of these is correct for a '48 F-1 ? Looks like the same listing with different numbers? |

Re: '48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
I'd bet on the 7RC listing.

Re: '48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
Thanks for that Ross…..
I’ve spotted a few “interesting” listings in that book over the years. This is another one. |

I've got a 1948-50 truck parts book and 21C is for panel trucks and step vans.

Re: '48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
PLEASE let us know if you find one to buy as those KS units are super rare these days.

Re: '48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
I’m sure I’ll find one eventually. Didn’t realize I was going to need/want one back in 2015 when I got the truck. The operation of my aftermarket sender has become pretty sporadic as the fuel level goes down……

It might be something as simple as a hairline crack in the fuel bowl. If you do a Fordbarn search on GAS TANK SENDING UNIT lots of info appears, like this: https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showt...K+SENDING+UNIT |

Firstrider (aka Dennis Dahle) has a unit harvested from a parts truck available.

Re: '48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
I’ve got a NOS unit coming from a picker.
We shall see what we shall see I guess….. |

Re: '48 F1 fuel tank sending unit
So, this is how this worked out....
I extended the float arm, calibrated its operation and I'm good to go. (way more accurate than the sweeping gauge needle I had with the aftermarket sending unit) |
