Request for info re fuel senders



I am scratch building a 601XL and am at the stage where I fit the  

fuel senders to the tanks.  I bought the fuel senders from Zenith but  

they arrived without any screws to attach the senders to the backing  

plate.

I note from the photo assembly guide (6K1b) that there is a longer  

screw and a number of short ones.  Does anyone have the specification  

for the screws I require?

If you didn't get the screws with the sender you should call Zenith and have them send them to you. You paid for them.

Today I received my fuel senders from ZAC .All the hardware including the 

screws were there .Now I am ready to cut the hole in the tank for mounting 

senders .Question (I would appreciate several pros & cons )What is the 

better location top or side ,should any sealant be used or is the supplied 

gasket good enough ,is the 59mm hole in the tank a good number . Thanks

Hi Wade



I initially made mine a couple of millimeters smaller and then sanded out the hole until the sender and the screws would just fit . Remember its all about the angles. I made my hole just big enough to clear the notch on the inside screw plate. When you tip the assembly at just the right angle it just slips right in.  After I got a good fit, I removed the sender and flushed the tank with medium pressure water to get rid of any debris.  Then I re-installed the sender and the filler neck. capped off the openings and filled it with fuel to check for leaks.   Don't check for leaks with water, it will ruin the level sender.

I installed mine on top because I was sure that I would never get the side mount to not leak. That's just me, I'm also sure that some if not all of the builders here could do it.
