Fuel sending unit

[erniecarpet@...]

Chuck, I believe you need to pull up your carpet and pad in the bedroom. I
think the sending unit is close to the foot of your bed under a cut out piece
of plywood. Look under the kick plate by your refer. There should be a little
black screw- if you find that the inspection port is about 2 feet into the
coach from there. Good luck- bring that coach up here to Montana and I'll put
the carpet back down for you.

Fuel gauge quit, gauge checks ok but the sending unit wire checks open
circuit and I was looking for the sending unit. I have opened two access
plates in the back but they seem to be access to the tank mountings. One
was just in front of the rear heater and the second was half under the water
tank. Any ideas where this is on a 1982 FC31 Side Bath, rear queen bed?

Chuck this is probably a question that Jeff Miller or Randy Dupree could
answer. Randy has been away in Ga but may be home now or very soon.

Chuck,
On our FC31, I could see the top of the fuel tank by opening up the
fuel door. The sending unit was straight in about two feet.

When replacing the carpet, the access plate was just aft the foot of the
bed, between the bed box and cabinets.

Chuck,

Just spent a fair amount of time fixing my fuel gage, located my sending
unit access cover between the corner of the bed and the corner of the
closet, in isle. I have a FC 35 with a rear bed room and side bath.

I had a lot of difficulty sorting out what was up with the fuel gage system.
found that a Stewart-Warner sending unit was used as a replacement. and the
gage was not original, I think it was a Teleflex. All of my other gages are
Teleflex-Morse. I fooled around with this set up off and of for a couple of
days.

Once I found out that my coach had Teleflex gages, I went to West Marine and
purchased both a sending unit and a Gage both, Teleflex. Finally now works
great.

Chuck,

On my '80 the fuel sending unit is accessed from under the bed
directly under the drawer. You remove the one large drawer and
there is the access panel. There is no carpet to pull up only 4
screws in an approx. 4x4" plywood cutout. For future reference if
you have a gas generater with a seperate tank, the access for it is
in the narrow isle between the bed and where the vanity is and
directly inline with that same drawer. (obviously this one is under
the carpet)

Hope this helps,

John

On our '81FC31' it was under the furnace under the bed.

Thanks to all who answered. Kathy fell and shattered her wrist so that put
my project (and our trip) on hold for awhile. I haven't looked under the
carpet yet.
