Does anyone know where to get a replacement fuel tank sending unit for a 701?

I can't wait for Zenith, if possible a source at auto parts store. I seem to

remember someone saying they are from VW tanks. The VDO part Number is 221-012.

I have a DAR inspection Weds and need to resolve before then.

Thanks

Bob

I would be suprised if you could find one at your local AutoZone. I would suggest, calling VW parts stores, Marine Supply stores, and performance shops.

Bob,

The four units I received from ZAC for my 601XL, although they look the

same, came in different labeled boxes. Three boxes have "221 012D FUEL

SENDER VW BEETLE V1551001209D" and one box has "V1551001209 FUEL LEVEL

SENDER VW 1-551-001-209D." My understanding is that they are made for VW

Rabbit, but perhaps are for other models too.

JC Whitney has 2 different beetle fuel gauges, but they don't have those

part numbers. Difference appears to be the length of the senders. Price is

$29 and $39 Bob U.

message miztakendle.

Bob,

I have four unused fuel senders furnished with my 601XL, VDO P/N

226-002D. I used capacitive type fuel senders and these are leftovers.

I'll let them go for $5.00 each plus shipping.

Bill what senders did you use exactly, is there a web page for them?

Also what size did you order and what size tanks do you have.

Mark, I have the four fuel tanks (2 main + 2 aux). I used 4 Westach P/N

395-5SB fuel senders with a Westach 3AQ9-3V quad fuel gauges, purchased

from Aircraft Spruce.

I didn't like the float senders mounted in the ends of the fuel tanks.

So, I had a local aircraft welder modify my four tanks with a 1" deep

well in the inboard top of each tank for the fuel sender. This "well"

allows a flush fit with the top of the fuel tanks and should they

develop a small "splashing" leak later it would not present a major

problem. Any small amount of fuel that escaped would soon evaporate.

Welding modification cost for four tanks was $200.00.

See attached pix for fuel tank modifications.

I'm sorry Mark. My four fuel tanks are 12 US gallons each, total

capacity 48 US gallons +or-. I used the Aircraft Spruce catalogue for

ordering, not the Westach WEB site.

I used 4 Westach P/N 395-5SB fuel senders with a Westach 3AQ9-3V quad

fuel gauges.
