Sender unit

[Les Parker]

Anyone know if a standard Series III late tank unit can be adapted to work with a 101 F.C. ? 12volt of course !

I don't know which generation of SIII it came from but I used one on my 101 and it was fine, or at least I never ran out of fuel. The unit I swapped on had the simple flange with 8(?) screw holes.

I think I still have the spare I bought for my cache so if my beer addled mind remembers tonight I'll go and check the part number.

Hello there,

Any news on the sender?
I believe it had just 6 screws holding it in.
Thanks !

I'm gradually working through the pile of crap (Highly valuable used parts to some) in my garage to get back to that area. I'll see if I can dig it out tonight.

Do you have the part number of the unit you are using?

Gregor,
Thanks for keeping this on the front burner.
The 101 # is 579375.
The Series # is 555844 Petrol and 555845 Deisel with low fuel warning tab.

Thanks

Les,
I knew I was having difficulty finding my spare sender until I realized I fitted it to my 109's tank. Its a IIA mind you. Looking at the old box (Came from Craddocks a while ago) it stated that the sender was a universal replacement for a 101 and SIII. Measuring the sag vs tank depth it works well for both trucks with only a slight bend in the float arm. I think it was under the SIII rear tank mount part #.
