Building the Is tank. Vans float level sender is on backorder. The part number seems to coincide with Stewart-Warner. Vans #IE F385B, S-W 385B-F.

S-W shows ohm range 33 full, 240 empty. Both call it "Left arm" Anyone know if this is what Vans uses?

Update- opened the details tab for this part on the web store. Same specs and I think they even used S-W stock photo. Looks like an order from Summit Racing will do it.

Is it the same sensor for both tanks? The rod just being bent the opposite way?


You’re on the RV-12 forum. Only one tank on the -12.

Just relaced the leaking fuel sender on my legacy RV-12 with a Stewart Warner 385B from Summit Racing. Same part number as the old one. The 385B is $28 vs $45 for the 385B-F. You have to bend the float arm to the dimensions listed in section 37 of the KAI.
