Radium SAE Fuel Level Sender, 0-90 Ohm, 8.0"
This fuel level sensor uses the standard SAE 5-bolt mounting pattern. Fits most fuel cells including Radium, ATL, Fuel Safe, Pyrotect, Harmon, Jaz, etc. and extensively used with the Radium Fuel Cell Surge Tank. This sensor works off reed switches which are located inside the sealed stainless steel probe. When the magnetic float passes up and down, the reed switch relays generate a precise resistance.
The float is the only moving component of the sensor which minimizes potential failures. And because of the material specifications and the use of a sealed probe, the sensor is suitable for use with gasoline, diesel, water, and all alcohol based fuels including methanol, ethanol, E85, etc.
The fuel level sender is easy to install using the supplied hardware and Deutsch connectors (gauge not included).
NOTES:
- All level senders are 0 ohms empty to 90 ohms full. This 0-90 ohm range is common with many OEM gauges.
- Radium does not sell fuel level gauges, but a popular option is the Autometer Fuel Level Gauge
- To test the sender, measure the resistance between the two wires while tipping the sender to allow the float to move.
- If purchased with a Radium Fuel Cell Surge Tank (FCST), the sender will come pre-installed.
Electrical:
- 12VDC with unit connected to a single electric receiver gauge that utilizes an AC resistance curve (shown below).
Mounting:
- When mounted properly, the gasket seal will withstand an internal tank pressure of over 6psi conforming to SAE J1810.
