Has anyone added a fuel sender for a Stewart Warner gauge to an original 1932 ford tank? Is there a sender that is close to the right size? I don’t want to cut this nice original tank. Thanks
I thought Stewart Warner made a fuel sender for a 32 back in the day. I see them every once in a while at swap meets.
The issue with the 32-34 tanks is the fuel pickup. I've not seen a modern sender that fits these tanks that has both.
I redrilled the new SW sender pattern in the top of the original sender 32 hole. But, I had to weld two bungs in the top of the tank also, one for the pickup and one for the vent.
Classic Instruments p/n SN33. Combo pickup and sending unit, 240/33 ohm, 5 hole. Adjustable sending unit and arm. Shorten the tube. I redrilled and tapped my stock tank.
Thank you, do you know what fitting the fuel line takes? Seems to be some confusion in the reviews. Thanks
I do not recall ever seeing a aftermarket for original gas tank. That what I would do & have done , Made my own , bolt in Original tank using Original pick up pattern. No big deal , time ,thinking it out , Silver Solider, braze , weld . Original tanks are nicer "fit "the only advantage you have over aftermarket would be an extra few gallons, & trimming required.
Old age memory lapse, but I used a regular inverted flare male/female 90* elbow and inverted flare nut with steel brake line. Made it so I could slide the tank to the rear far enough to clear the body and access the sender. Pic is from the build thread a couple of years ago.
I found a generic standard replacement sender probably from napa. The only problem is it reads full to half, half being empty. I’m guessing I didn’t adjust the float right.
Welding a Bung in with the proper 5 bolt hole pattern is best and there are numerous sending unit options for sneing units...Float style and tube style...Call our tech line at 231-582-0461 and we can assist if you need further help, but I see you had lots of help and I am late to the party. John
