I am getting ready to close the tanks and I was testing my fuel senders (float) and I am not getting the numbers that Van's shows in the instructions (30-240) The instructions do say about those readings. Well I get 31 at the full end and 196 at the empty end. My concern is the float has to move a few degrees off the empty end before it starts to read any ohms at all. The funny thing is that both of my senders do the exact same thing, no reading until they move some and then the first number I get is 196 ohms at that goes down to 30 as the float reaches the full position.
I called Van's assistance and got the not so helpful "wow not sure I have heard of that". We talked and thought since both gauges read the same they both must be working. I have an EFIS/EMS so those it's fuel display will get calibrated to whatever the sender reads as you add fuel in 2 gal increments. But I wonder if 2 gals will be enough to make the sender actually float up enough start sending out a number.
Thanks for any help here. If you had a similar issue I would like to hear from you. I have searched the forum but so far no one states the actual numbers they are getting at the sender stops.
Cheers
