Tiger Fuel pressure sending units
 

Morning all, 31 frosty degrees with ice/sleet falling as I post here in Southern New Hampshire, BRRR! I'm looking for some help with the fuel pressure sending units for the OEM VDO gauges that are in my Tiger. We inadvertently broke a wire lead off one when tuning the carbs last fall,so I decided to replace both of them with what was recommended by a friend. The package instructions specifically said "not for fuel use" but what do they know? Problem is,they aren't working. There are several styles of sending units listed for the VDO gauges, and all say "not for fuel use". I don't want to trial and error this and end up with $500 worth of paperweights. Anybody got any experience with this? Thanks

What is the sender part number?

I believe they are 360-430. After kicking around on line for the last 40 minutes, I think we should have gotten 360-043 units. Can anyone confirm this?

Both use floating grounds and use 10-180 ohms
360-043 is 30 psi
360-430 is 150 psi

And if these are on carbs then they would not have moved much if any with low pressure.
There is a concern allowing electrical senders on gas lines. Most electrical senders are for oil. water and diesel. So long as they don't leak all is good

Thanks for that AllDodge. Strange thing is that the old sensors were working perfectly, but showed 18+ lbs pressure. After we broke one wire on a sensor, my carb tuner said " Let's just put on a new set of sensors, cause the pressure is reading high and I don't think they are accurate", so he got the new ones. At least he is good with tuning! Factory set up was with electrical sending units, I guess there were not as many litigious concerns back in 2000. Gonna get a set of the 360-043's and try again.

Great, Thanks for that Kirk, I will check them out.

Hardin informed me that the units they sell are not compatible with my VDO gauges. I ordered a new set of 360-043's online, hopefully these will work.
