GAS GAUGE / FUEL TANK QUESTION - P-30 Chassis
Fellow Alumilovers,
The GAS GUAGE on my '84 Excella 270 /P-30 GM Chassis is kaput. It perpetually shows "Empty" and the "Low Fuel" light is on as well. My guess as to the most likely culpret is a bad sending unit. [Though I will check the wires before the tank is dropped!]
The gas tank is a 60 gallon and I can find only replacement senders for 40 gallon tanks.
Now, I'm gonna GUESS that the 60g tank is the same as the 40g, only LONGER. Therefore a sender for a 40 would work in a 60.
Also the listing my parts guy found for the 40g tank sender shows one for the 30-P chassis WITHOUT FACTORY AIR CONDITIONING, but none WITH AIR. What could the differece possibly be between air conditioning or NOT at the gas tank?
Your constructiive advise is keenly sought!
Thanks in advance!

I suggest you give these guys a call before you drop the tank. They know the Teleflex gauges, can tell you what is required, and have parts available if you can't find a local source

I think the sender wire is the problem, since the gauge shows perpetually full if it shorts out enroute to the dash.
Merry Christmas to both of you newly-discovered hams!
