VDO Reed Switch Fuel Sender - 12-Inch (300 mm) for Marine and Automotive Tanks

Reed Switch Fuel Sender - 300 MM

Most aftermarket fuel senders use a rotating float arm and resistance cards to measure the amount of fuel in a tank which can lead to erratic pointer movements. This revolutionary design comes with many benefits! This is ideal for applications where a conventional swing arm will not fit due to clearance issues. The tubular design acts as a dampener to prevent the gauge pointer from moving due to fuel slosh.

The floatless fuel sender has no side to side motion, which means it has no moving parts to wear out. It is top mounted and utilizes the aftermarket standard SAE 5 hole mounting flange and comes complete with neoprene gasket and mounting hardware.

Features:

• Stainless steel construction
• Ethanol resistant Viton gasket
• 240-33 Ohm range
• Fits tanks with a depth of 11.8" (300mm)
• Insulated 1/4"" spade connectors
• Standard 5 hole mounting flange
• Works with most standard marine fuel gauges
• Ground - Floating
• Connection - Insulated .25" Spade

The VDO Reed Switch Fuel Sender (Part Number: 226-630) offers a reliable and maintenance-free solution for measuring fuel levels in tanks up to 12 inches (300 mm) deep. Unlike traditional float arm senders that use a rotating float and resistance cards, this innovative design features a floatless, tubular sensor that eliminates side-to-side motion and reduces the risk of erratic pointer movements. Its dampening effect ensures smooth gauge operation even during fuel slosh, making it ideal for applications where space constraints prevent the use of conventional swing-arm sensors. The top-mounted configuration simplifies installation and maintenance, while the standard SAE 5-hole mounting flange ensures compatibility with most aftermarket fuel gauges. Constructed from durable stainless steel with an ethanol-resistant Viton gasket, this sender is built to withstand harsh environments and chemical exposure. It operates within a 240-33 Ohm range, providing accurate readings across a variety of fuel types. The insulated 1/4-inch spade connectors facilitate secure electrical connections, and the unit's ground-floating design ensures reliable operation. Compatible with tanks up to 11.8 inches deep, the VDO Reed Switch Fuel Sender is suitable for marine and automotive applications requiring precise fuel measurement. Sold individually, this sender combines durability, accuracy, and ease of installation to meet the demands of professional and enthusiast setups alike.
