SOLD! FREE Fuel tank sender unit (VDO)

[Boftus]

This was kindly given to me by a club member. It is no long useful to me so i am passing it on.

I just ask that the buyer pays the postage.

 

I have cut it down a bit and made a couple of the holes a bit wider in the metal mounting ring.

But if it could be useful to somebody, postage buys it.

SOLD!

I recently refitted the sender in my car with new gaskets and top ring. The holes aren't drilled with equal spacing so you have to line everything up and put the long screw in first. Once fitted in the tank all of the other holes line up. I found instructions on the website of the gasket supplier.

The tank in mine is different, the holes in the tank are drilled and tapped. But dont line up perfectly with the holes in a sender unit.

This i inherited with the car and chose to just make do.

Makes it much easier to remove and refit tbh.

Sorry wasn't meant to be a criticism. I just thought it worth mentioning as you can't see the holes are spaced out in this way and also that you can get new rings and gaskets.

Where do you get the gaskets from please?

[Rusty Nuts]

Couple of places to try:

Merlin

VDO webshop

[Boftus]

It does have the 2 rubber gaskets, screws (plus one long) and a the threadded ring to go inside the tank.

I used one of the rubber gaskets.

But it is rubber so should be no reason you can't reuse it.

And the top ring i opened some of the holes up on, but still does its job.

 

As Rusty nuts said, you can get them. I would wait until you get it. Then decide if you need it 👍

I got mine from here as I couldn't find anyone else with stock. https://www.furneauxriddall.com/

They also have the downloadable instructions. https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0542/2173/4073/files/Lever_Type_Level_Sensor.pdf?v=1693828593

 

I was going to post some links but being at work didn't get the chance. I spent quite a while searching round to find someone who had any in stock as I wanted the gaskets quickly.
