Take a Brake

Had a wee advisory on the front to rear brake pipes so with holiday season here the Jag will be the tool of choice so time for some van workshop   

Need to drop the tank for access, so whilst it's down I'm going to fix the lazy guage.


Q1????
What's with the wires to both bits?   
Which one is the sender?  

Large one with the two pipes cominng off Logo is your fuel pump. The small one on the left, the sender has three wires - one of which goes to earth on the tank and the other two into your loom.

It is basically a plastic tube with a float in it and a rheostat.

Stupid phone !! The name is Logi !! I keep telling it-- but it won't listen.

 

 

hahah!!!

Can you take/post some pics of the fuel sender as there is only 1 pic in existence online (via google!)

Anything to please   

Well, fuel tank's back in, gauge working properly, and a FUEL LIGHT   

Decided the previous problem with my gauge was the wee cap falling off the sender, it keeps the centre bit central, so to speak Without the cap the float sticks about 1/3 way down, no light, slow to rise when filled. So if anyone has similar symptoms I'd bet that's the problem.

Sound like the same problem as my Smurf has, but I'm blowed if I'm going to bother about it in these temperatures!

Did you stop your ending from popping off?!

Yeah, popped it back on......

It's not the first time it's been out, I reckon it's had the tank recall done in the past and the sender problem started there.

Tank recall?

Reckon so, unless Daihatsu use cable ties to fix wiring under the van...

I didn't know there were any recalls over the fuel tank?

I recall it - had mine done years ago

Hmmmmm..... I only know if the prop shaft recall.
Didn't know about a fuel tank one. Anyone remember what the recall was about?

"Corrosion of the top of the fuel tank may result in a fuel leak."

VOSA website has the issue date as November 2003 but doesn't say what age vehicles may be affected.
