I need to run a universal sender in my tank because the stock one doesnt love e85.

 

Does anyone know, or could please measure the resistance of the stock fuel sender on full and on empty. if i could get this info i could match it to an aftermarket sender.

 

So if anyone has a ke30 sender lying around they could put a multimeter on ohms to it, or a manual that tells the story. I have a gregorys manual and its not in there. cheers matt

What year is your KE30? I noticed there is a difference in the fuel gauge readings. I put a 1976 KE35 gauge in my KE30 and the fuel gauge was a bit out, so I put in a 1976 fuel sender and it was OK.

Looks like 3.6 Ohms Full and 110 Ohms Empty.

 

Measured with Ohms meter across body and pole off fuel sender unit.

Bottom most position for empty, top most position for full.

mines a 76 model with the early dash. cheers for that cuzzo thats very handy, it matches pretty good for a boat sender i have found so very happy. thanks again.

Please let me know your source. might need a replacement myself.

 

Ive tried to retrofit the factory sender to my custom tank but havent tried it yet.

if u are stills trugling to find this, i can tell you suzuki have a fuel level sender with the exact same setup as the toyota 3-110 ohm sender. Its installed in suzuki multicabs and Toyota liteaces.

It turns out the one i had found works opposite to what i need, so full is 110 and 0 is empty. so no luck yet, i can use one from another vehicle but it needs to be e85 compatible, so not real common. It may come down to using an autometer guage.
