StevieG Posted November 28, 2002 Share Posted November 28, 2002 Hi, I'm looking for a fuel sending unit for my 1930 Dodge model DD 4dr. I have the gauge but when I removed the connection cover off of the fuel tank, there was no sending unit.Does anyone know where I can get one, or what will work?ThanksStephen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted January 22, 2003 Share Posted January 22, 2003 Tank sending units are problematical. Mine (Dodge DC) is made out of a housing that fits, with a rheostat out of something with a variable speed control (e.g. heater, fan perhaps), and the inside tank frame and gear wheel arrangement was made from Mecano. I remade the frame in a single piece of steel bent up to suit but using the shafts and Mecano gear wheel. I made it up by making a template of the end of the tank and the location of the mount and working out the lengths of the mechanism frame and float arm so the arc the float moved through was from bottom (lowest part) to top of tank. I expect your DD sender will be the same as the DC one, so you should be able to find out the sender resistance range required by the dash unit for empty to full. I am still playing because it is not 100% yet. The rheostat is made in the shape of a circle with wiper attached to the actuating shaft. Note there must be no sparks or arcing!Good luck!Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
