replacement fuel tank sensor

[Brian W]

Fuel tank sensor in our 1987 First 405 is shot. Does anyone have any ideas about getting a replacement (boat was built in France). Hoping to avoid major surgery on the tank in order to install a replacement.

Thanks,

Brian (s/v Toujours)

Is it a VDO gauge? What is your tank capacity?

Hi Bob...will be able to check on boat tomorrow...B's customer service, when pressed, said that most of that era were VDO. Capacity 35 gallons.

I had a French built 1987 Oceanis 390 and the sensor went out.  An exhaustive search failed to find an easy replacement.  I went to a dip stick.

If you cant find one, engine hours is by far the most accurate way to guage fuel remaining - assuming you have a pretty good idea of diesel hourly usage (usually about 1 Gallaon per hour for most of us).  Fill the tank to start the process.

[Jeffrey]

This is what I suggest find a WEMA tank gauge and use a WEMA sender and never worry again.   Great equipment.

I always try Beneteau in NC first. An other great source is Defender Marine in CT. Even if it's not in the catalogue, they will get for you.

If my recollection is right, it was an oddball European fitting made by a company that either is out of business or no longer manufactures the item.  It's a 30 year old boat.  I went to Beneteau first and dug from there. No luck.  Maybe you have a different types sender, but the vintage is the same.  Keep a good engine log.  Good luck.

[Mohammad Bayegan]

Why not cap off the existing hole and get a new sender and matching gage, there should be a templet to cut the new hole. It may take a few tries to adjust it. Mainly you want to make sure it zeros at empty with a few gallons left for reserve.

Replace sender and gauge with WEMA brand sender  WWW.wemausa.com  they also make a mounting assembly kit, senders are fool proof don’t cost much at all and work great, I put them in all fuel and water tanks in my boat.

Because the aluminum tank top from the old POS sender was beat up and holes stripped out I used a fuel sender adapter kit that bolted over the old holes and had holes tapped for new sender.  Also not an expensive part, since then I have perfect fuel sending info and no leaks.

Thanks everyone...a lot of great suggestions to investigate. Will let you all know how things turn out. May be some more questions to follow as things progress.

The fuel gauge is Jeager, not VDO.

Looked at the sender...no manufacturer info, but did have some numbers on top...

first line: 07428501

second line 12v j6

presume 12v is 12 volt.

Picture of sender attached

Tank capacity is 133L (35 gal)

Cheers,

Brian

Subject: {Beneteau Owners} replacement fuel tank sensor

Fuel tank sensor in our 1987 First 405 is shot. Does anyone have any ideas about getting a replacement (boat was built in France). Hoping to avoid major surgery on the tank in order to install a replacement.

Thanks,

Brian (s/v Toujours)

Brian:

The extra VDO sensor I have will not fit your tank. The tank on the oc321 is not that large.

Sorry.
