Modular Fuel Sender - Fuel Level Sensor Description
The modular fuel sender assembly mounts to the threaded opening of the plastic fuel tank with a multi-lipped seal and threaded retainer (nut). The spring
loaded reservoir, containing the exterior inlet strainer, electric fuel pump and pump strainer maintains contact with the tank bottom. This design
provides:
^
Optimum fuel level in the integral fuel reservoir during all fuel tank levels and driving conditions.
^
Improved tank fuel level measuring accuracy.
^
Improved coarse straining and added pump inlet filtering.
^
More extensive internal fuel pump isolation for noiseless operation.
The modular fuel sender assembly consists of the following major components: A fuel sender cover assembly, a fuel sender, fuel pipes (above cover), a
fuel sender support assembly, a fuel pump, a fuel pump strainer, a fuel pump reservoir, a fuel sender strainer, and a fuel level sensor assembly.
