Fuel Sender Calibration

[Guest Battery Bill]

Nigel

Our sender had the tube Crimped up and was not used!

and also how does this work with the fuel pump as I thought it had to be low down to suck the fuel out of the tank

Confused Still at least ours seems to work though

[Guest craig030774]

i used ford sender with a new guage that didnt have any distructions with it so i connected it all up to a battery and moved the arm up and down to see what i got on the guage all seemed okay but it wouldnt read full,on the sierra sender there is a resistor built into the printed board with a bit of careful soldering i shorted it out and it works a treat.

hope this helps

Careful with shorting out resistors.

These are often there as a safety feature to limit current and sparks.

 

Having said that there is not normally enough oxygen in a petrol tank to ignite.

Hi Turbo just interested to see whether you got your sender sorted out? I have been looking at some decent gauges (after SVA!) and am a bit worried about how complicated it is to make the electrics work. Hope you got it sorted anyway.

[Guest joni]

PS Are you related to GJM?

 

By the way Bill who or what is GJM? This is all freindly banter isn't it?

[Guest chris brown]

How dare you put friendly banter and Bill in the same sentence?

[Jon Bradbury]

Yeah. Bill don't like to be called thick, innit?

 

[Guest joni]

I would ahve thought you'd have replied by now Bill. Not going to let Jon get away with that thick comment are you?

[Guest Battery Bill]

Joni

Jon get away with that thick comment are you?

 

I'm used to it from Jon, Just rise above it

 

This is all freindly banter isn't it?

Of course

 

Craig

Similar reply as Sir Chris's last one,

How can you put the words "Trust and Sparky" in the same sentence

[Guest Guy]

Joni, the GJM saga was HERE, he turned out to be okay and said thanks for the replys, I wonder if Turbo has fixed his fault yet, as I look back his last comment seems to be calling Bill a P****er

[Guest Battery Bill]

Thanks for reminding us all Guy

 

By the way "Sir Chris" has your Zeemers at his house

[Guest joni]

Guy just read the thread and have been laughing out loud!

 

How can you put the words "Trust and Sparky" in the same sentence

 

Bill you can easily put those two words in a sentence as long as you also use the word 'can't'! Sorry Craig only joking, just getting into the spirit of the forum and all!
