Tube-in-Head Reed Switch Probe with Fuel Pickup & Return
Application
The Reed Switch Probe with fuel pickup and return fits in tanks from 10” [254 mm] to 30” [762 mm] in depth. They are designed for top mounting in aluminum, plastic, steel or stainless steel fuel tanks in all types of industrial equipment. These senders are recommended for both on-road and off-road applications. They include special features and protection from corrosion (internal and external to the fuel tank) which makes them the quality standard for all industries. The sender is suitable for gasoline, ethanol, diesel and bio-diesel.
General Information & Features
The head and support are made of aluminum, which makes it suitable for harsh off-road conditions. Standard mounting configuration is the SAE 5-hole bolt pattern. Also available is push-in head with press-fit diameter of 2.6 inches [67mm].
Our modular head and fitting design allow our pickup and return fittings to be oriented in various configurations without tooling costs. Available standard top barb pickup and return fitting sizes include 1/4″, 5/16″, 3/8″, and 1/2″ as well as SAE J2044 Quick Connect fittings 3/8” return and 1/2” pickup.
Industry standard output: 240 (empty) – 30 (full) ohms. The close tolerances held on this series of Reed Switch fuel level sender will provide the proper signal for any of the popular 2” [50.8 mm] panel mounted quality receivers or ECM’s.
