Reed Switch Fuel Tank Sending Unit Question
Has anyone had any experience using one of these type sending units in their vehicle? They are used in boats. They are 12 V and made to work with matching 240-33 ohm 12v fuel gauges. I am using a TANKS INC. 16 gal. polypropylene tank.
I realize I can't use the stock 40 Ford 6V fuel gauge as it doesn't operate on the ohms law principle. I am thinking about using REED SWITCH SENDING UNIT along with a separate matching ohms fuel gauge mounted under the dash. The TANKS tank is 8 1/4 in. deep inside. Here's the tank. https://www.tanksinc.com/index.cfm/p...prod/prd70.htm Here's the Reed Switch sending unit. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Moeller-Mar...YAAOxyCTtTdlKq The reason I am considering using this set up is because I'm tired of the inaccurate FUEL GUAGE readings when using the stock 40 gas tank sending unit in the TANKS tank. I have adjusted it until I am blue in the face but, it's not as accurate as I desire. Thanks. Last edited by 19Fordy; 04-27-2020 at 10:33 AM. |

Instead of using an extra gauge under the dash; you could use one of these SW truck gauges with a '40 face or decal in the dash. The gauges work with a regular SW sender and should work with 240-33 ohm reed switch sender.

The new panel in the attached picture is on eBay now. Not mine. Last edited by rich b; 05-10-2020 at 04:43 PM. Reason: extra |
