Default Fuel level sender - Help required

Hi Guys & Gals,

I have fitted a bag tank to my car and it doesn't come as standard with a fuel level sender. I am looking to fit one, bit I don't have too much space.

The bag tank is foam filled so I can't use a "float" type sender. I need one of the tube type ones, like the ATL one. However the mounting plate of the ATL sender is slightly to large.

Does anyone know of any other fuel level sender systems out there???

Thanks

Sean..

The Fuel Safe sender is pretty compact

Yeas mate I have looked at the ATL one and the diameter of the piece that sits outside the tank, is slightly to large to fit where I need it to go. Fingers crossed the one Cam has pointed out is a bit smaller.

The cars getting there mate. I am rewiring it at the moment. Will be out at Bedford in Feb.

Cheers matey.

I have had another look at everything today and I think I am going to change the plate on the tank around a bit to make space for the ATL sender. On closer investigation it seems like the ATL, cams link and your link all use the same tank sender, so with a bit of jiggery pokery I should be able to make it work.
