Brand new release of our METRUM ROD FSU !!!!!!!!!!!!

[Burning oil]

Correct. The float has a magnet and is the only moving part.

Would this work as a replacement for sending units on boat fuel tanks? I've just about given up on the standard float/arm units. They don't last more than a year or
two.

Yes it would work great on a boat, just need to know what length and the ohm you need. Most boats have a standard, but I forget what it is.(0-240 ohm I think)

Many marine tanks these days use magnetic/float TLIs (tank level indicators) I'm used to seeing them on bulk storage & ready service fuel tanks 20-300K tanks; good adaptation of the technology here Leroy, USA sourced or import, USA ones I've seen in past were sky high priced ?

When we would pull & calibrate/test them they would be 20-30 ft long.

Leroy nothing to calibrate here ? or do they operate in same resistive region as GM float full to empty (when the GM one is working correctly that is)

Leroy I just read thru instructions, looks easy enough of an install.

Maybe include a new sock? Does kit included new tank top seal/sealant, also mite want to include in your pictures with instructions how the lock ring works so guys who have never done a sensor swap before know how the lock ring & seal work.

GM & other service manuals assume one has the GM lock ring tool it's not required if you are careful using a dull chisel or brass drift to move the lock ring, brass is my preferred driver, as it's non sparking; which not as much a big deal on a Diesel tank, but could get interesting on a gasser tank steel on steel tools and fuel vapors looking for a spark.

Hey Tim, we make these right here in our shop. There is nothing to calibrate. They are set up for the same factory spec 0-90 ohm.
The quality of this is awesome (If I do say so myself)

Thanks, good ideas.
I have always used a long screwdriver and a mallet to remove the lock ring. Make sure to clean any crap off the lock ring/fsu that could fall into the tank first.

As Tim suggested I am now including the lockring oring with the Metrum Rod. Working on the sock too, but I would suggest not using a sock and going with a pre LP spin on fuel filter. Because if the sock cruds up it is a PITA job just to have to clean it again.

What year models does it fit.

If i was to drop my tank for leaking puropses i would install one of these, the gauge is irritating... Just replaced tank and sender last summer...
