Fuel tank issue.

[spike2450]

Hi again!!
Trying to install a new fuel tank sender with the five hole screw pattern. Does this install on a set pattern i.e. it'll only line up with the existing hole in one position.
The sender wouldn't line up with the pattern, i tried the old gasket and it would also only line up in one position.
The only problem with the float arm etc would have been facing the stern and hard up against the rear of the tank and impossible to install.
Any help would be great.

Believe so, certainly the case on my Fairline - although in my case the orientation is fine - athwartships so the sender can only be installed in the correct way around...

Hi again
Just found a web site with the same Faria senders and they have two listed to the same spec,
one is listed as S/STN and the other D/STN.
Any ideas what this means?

S/STN will be single station (ie 1 gauge)

D/STN will be dual station (ie runs two gauges)

Quick check on the Faria website and the fuel sender instructions seem to refer to rotating the pivot if the sender hits the tank side, get the instructions from here if you don´t have them and see if there is enough rotation to allow you to mount it correctly...

Hi
Thanks for that, it's pretty obvious when you look at the gauge.
I've now adjusted ready for installing.
