OK. I installed my 4x4 front sway bar. WHEW- What a mutha! I am about to get back on this gauge. If I need a replacement sender for the Areotach tank.Where would I find one? I think it is the 5 screw type IIRC.

Hey JJ,

I am not sure about the sender for the aftermarket tanks. You may want to contact the company of the tank. Maybe someone else will chime in or you can post the question in a new thread on the general forum. I have absolutely no experience with these style tanks but I do know that it will have to have a sender with a 0 - 90 ohm range for the factory gauge to work.

Hope this helps and good luck.

Take care,
Tom

This is the sender I found. What do you think?

Looks good and it is a Stewart Warner, which I like. As long as the "10-15 inches" for tank depth is good for you and it fits, I say good to go. Good price also. Maybe get another opinion on this as well.

Keep me posted,

And the resistance is correct (0 - 90 Ohms). That is VERY important. Looks like it will do the job.
