 |
|
Has anyone used the new fuel senders, 70-10 ohm configuration, in the top
mount position?
I have seen the side mount now shown in the builders manual, but would like
to have the top mount for easier access & maintenance.
Advice & info appreciated.

I just finished installation of one of the senders. I have not done
one of the old ones, so I can't really address the differences.
I do wonder about your comment about easier maintenance on the top
mounted position. Once the nose skin is riveted in place I think it
would be very hard to do any maintenance on the sender. Fortunately,
I don't think it is likely to need much attention.
I have some pictures if you want to see them, but I don't think there
were any surprises. The only issue that caused me some trouble was
getting a good ground connection to the base plate of the sender. I
did that by eliminating one of the paper washers.
Good luck,
Paul

Thanks Paul, The senders on the 701 are mounted under the top skin, with
covers. The nose skin is not involved. another way to install them is at the end
of the tank, not easy to access without removing skin, so it seems.
About maintenance, perhaps they are good enough so as to not require
maintenance. This is one reason that I am going to the new senders, 70-10 ohm.
But, things that move, have elect flow, and otherwise hide away,,, are
maintenance prone.
Actually a cork on a wire would be useful if it would fit.
