Fuel Tank Unit: Description and Operation
Fuel Sender Assembly
MODULAR FUEL SENDER ASSEMBLY
The modular fuel sender assembly consists of the following major components: a fuel pump, a tuel sender strainer (3), a fuel pump strainer, a
roll-over valve (2), a fuel level sensor (4), and, a fuel tank pressure sensor (6).
FUEL SENDER
The fuel sender consists of the float, wire float arm, rheostat and the roll-over valve.
Fuel level is sensed by the position of the float and float arm which operate the 90 ohm rheostat. As the float position changes, the amount of
current passing through the rheostat varies, thus changing the gage reading on the instrument panel.
