has anyone had trouble out of the sending units on the electric fuel press gages from auto meter (mines a z series 0-30psi ) coming home friday fuel press droped to 0 scared me a little got to messing with the trottle and seen it raise a drop a little then went over ruff pavement and it came back for a sec then back to 0 so yesterday i tore into it checked voltage going to gage with key on truck not running showed 12.6v and had no real restiants on the ground so i fired it up and taped on sender and it wold go up to about 5psi then back to o im going to order a new sending unit and see but if there are normal prob with these i will go mechanical with it

sorry threads so long as well i only have about 40k on the gage

 

electric senders are failure prone. Verifying with a mechanical guage will tell you what you need to know.

 

I went though two Autometer and one S-W senders before I gave up and went with a mechanical gauge.

My opinion is fuel senders don't work on a diesel engine.
What good is a gauge that fails more than the system it's supposed to monitor?

 

thanks guys for the help but it is edited by admin when you spend that kinda doe for somethin and it turns out to be a ford lol

 

no problemw ith mine in about 20k here...but i run a REALLY big line so the pulses from the VP are kept to a minimum which most people say cause the early deaths of the electric senders

 

well that is 1 thing on mine about a week ago i noticed my fuel line was rubbing in a couple of places( gooseneck bouceing it constantly) so i replaced it with ss braided from the lp to the vp dont no if that would have had any thing to do with it or not but i had put about 3k on it since putting the new line on
