Fuel Gauge not working

[bearings]

G'day all, has anyone got a good working fuel tank sender unit that I could have at a reasonable price. Mine works down to about three quarters then goes like a screen wiper then down to zero and stays there. I have standard VDO gauges on board. If anyone can help me out then thanks

Hi,

You could try removing the sender from the tank and cleaning the resistive contact pads, otherwise if all else fails it's probably easiest to just buy a new one http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=vdo+fuel+sender&_sop=15  .  I'm not sure which resistance range the Eureka's typically used though..

Cheers,
Radek.

I have always used to 69 beetle tank and tank unit with the VDO gauge set. 80ohms empty-15 ohms full.I could bring my spare to Melb.If you don't get lucky.Dave
