Hello, I have a 1972 Revcon 250 that needs a Fuel Tank Sending Unit replaced, does anyone know what sending unit they may have used on this coach. Any information would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Joe |

Is the resistor still good? IF so, you could measure the resistance. This would let you know which type it is. Then order one from Summit racing. |

Thanks for information, no couldn’t measure resistance in too bad of shape but did get a new universal one that seems to read right. |

Yes, there are two basic standards and I could not remember which one was used. That was one of the reasons I went to an electronic dash on my coach. I replaced the fuel tank and the new sending units were not compatible. I went to an all digital dash. |

If you don’t mind telling me where did you get a new fuel tank, or did a metal shop make it for you ? |

They were actually surplus plastic fuel tanks for boats. Two 40 gallon. Brand new. They were 8 inches tall, and 2 feet wide and 4 feet long. It was a boat salvage and surplus store. If I remember correctly, they were 200 buck each. I searched on and off for about 2 years before I stumbled on these. I had to drill one of the access place to install an extra pickup for the generator, but that was the only modification to the tank. I built a frame to support them and hold them to the bottom of the coach. For the sending units, I used a 4 pin trailer connector just in case I needed to pull them again. |

Thank you for the information, plastic tanks would be a better choice anyway. Very good idea. |

Just make sure if you are buying a plastic tank that it is made for fuel. The plastic tanks I bought were coated inside. Just curious how tall of a tank will fit? http://www.moellermarine.com/wp-content ... -10-19.pdf Here is a list from Moeller Marine. I'm pretty sure that is who made my tanks. I see a 36 gallon tank that is only 8 inches high, or a 48 gallon tank that is 9 inches high. Do as I did, mount two tanks side by side, longitudinally. They will never leak, but they are expensive. I was fortunate to find mine surplus. |
