Re: [DML] New tank sender thoughts

Hi Sonny,

Thanks for the info. I'd like to know at about what fuel level the low fuel light comes on so I can compare it to the Zilla fuel tank sender. James had mentioned something before about their sender activating the light earlier than the stock one, so that sounded like the light might come on sooner. "don't know as he never answered my question." 

I'd like to know how it works out for you and at what fuel level the light really does come on. We had a club meeting Saturday and the new sender came up. It sounds nice.

Thanks

Subject: [DML] New tank sender thoughts

Hey all -

Got my new tank sender this past Wednesday from DMC in Texas. Warren said it would arrive on Wednesday and he was right! I didn't have time to install it until today, but it was quite easy to do and came with illustrated instructions.

The tank sender is metal, unlike the original plastic one that I took out. It has the same kind of three terminal plug like the original one, though, so it just plugs right in. It also comes with a new thicker seal to replace the original one. When I first turned the key on after installing it, the low fuel light came on and it read about 1/16 of a tank on the gauge. I went to the gas station, filled up with 11.4 gallons. The manual says the car has a 13.2 gallon tank, which would have meant that I had about 1.8 gallons left in the tank. So far so good.

I will keep the list posted on my experience with the unit.
