Fuel Gauges not working
#2
Bill,

Your sending units are likely made by a company called Moeller. They could also be made by Teleflex, but I believe they are Moeller.

Did both units fail at the same time or did they fail at different times?

If you do choose to remove your old units from the tank, be very careful! I would not use power tools to remove them. Most corded and cordless drills and screw drivers are not ignition protected and could easily spark causing fire and/or explosion.

It would be unusual for both sending units to fail at the same time. Did anyone do any wiring behind the helm or in the engine room around the time of the failure? This would be more a more likely scenario if both failed at the same time (ground removed or both wires from sending units cut). Make sure the fuel tanks are properly bonded to the grounding system before removing sending units. I would also check the wiring connections at the tank and at the helm gauges.

If you do remove the sending units, you should be able to order new sending units from Port Supply, West Marine, Boat US or any other large boating supply company.

Good Luck and let us know how it works out.
