Fuel Sender

#1 Post by Jason Tell »

I have a '61 356B Coupe with the original fuel sender that is not working. Is there a trusted vendor that rebuilds them or will I need to buy a new replacement?

This is what I used; works perfectly and from the outside you can't tell it isn't original: http://www.partdeal.com/vdo-alas-adjust ... 6-001.html

Sounds good, Paul. What length did you adjust it to?

I don't remember, but I just followed the directions with the sender. I think all you need to do is measure the depth of the tank at the sender flange.

Turns out that online store is located here in Portland. I'll pick one up and try it. Thanks for the tip.

We have new senders in stock. $99.95 plus shipping. The top of the sender is different that the original sender. Unless you are seriously showing your car most people will not notice. We also have a device that stabilizes the needle in the gauge. Zim's Autotechnik, you can order on line ALLZIM.COM or give us a call 80.356.2964 thanks al
