Post by rwcoop »

Heya, have got a suby engine in a jet boat and am using the subaru in tank fuel pump. Was hoping someone might know the resistance of the fuel level sender at empty and full so as i know which guage to purchase.
Its out a RS or GT Legacy 89 - 92. 2L turbo

I can get you the info when I get back in town. Shoot me an email to remind me. I'm going to be travelling all over creation the next three weeks.

The resistances for the main & sub fuel sender units are as follows

Main Unit
Full: 0.5 - 2.5 ohms
Empty: 50.0 - 52.0 ohms

Sub Unit
Full: 0.5 - 2.5 ohms
Empty: 42.0 - 44.0 ohms

And for completeness, here's the resistances for the FWD fuel sender

FWD
Full: 2.0 - 5.0 ohms
Empty: 92.0 - 95.0 ohms

Whats the difference between the main and sub units? Is the sub sender just for the low fuel light? or is there a sender on each side of the tank on the 4WD...
