Guest 1930 Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 I am hoping that someone knows of a modern replacement gas tank sending unit that would be compatable with my 29/30 DA fuel tank or know of someone who has access to parts that can rebuild the original one that came out of my tank. The gears that they use in these things are pot metal I believe and have proven to be fragile. Thanks for any responses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_RAH Posted February 10, 2007 Share Posted February 10, 2007 Hi, If the gears on the 'DA' are similar to the earlier 4 cyl check with Tom Myers at 734-856-1207or Roy Brister at 870-251-4513. These are brass reproductions of the original pot metal ones. Good Luck. Rodger "Dodger" Hartley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest imported_RAH Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 Yes, they do appear to be the same. Rodger "Dodger" Hartley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted February 11, 2007 Share Posted February 11, 2007 I have contacted Tom Meyers, sent him pictures and am awaiting his reply, looked and there is no picture in their catalog. Will let you know, thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 Just received those sending unit gears tonight from Tom Meyers and they are identical to what I need, I just want to add that I have only purchased a few items from them but they are first on my list to go to if there is something I am in need of, they make me feel as if if they are eager to do buisness with me and that I am not another couple of dollars like some other suppliers of D.B. parts. Wish they stocked more DA parts but at least we all know that the earlier gears thay offer for D.B vehicles are the same ones used in my 29/30 car.

yirgaman Posted February 20, 2007 Share Posted February 20, 2007 Pete, on my 32 DL 6 I had trouble with the sending unit and replaced mine with a new one that I found in a surplus store or a farm store that mighthave been made for some utility vehicle or something, but it has a dial on the top and the electrical connection as well. picked it up for about $5.00 I just don't remember where I got it. All the screw holes lined up and the float was adjustable. It's been nice to be able to read the tank levelwhile outside the car - and still have a working fuel gauge.Larry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
