Frequently asked questions

What does the fuel tank sensor do?
The fuel tank sensor is the fuel level sender unit. A float inside the tank moves with the fuel level and relays that reading to the dashboard gauge, giving a continuous indication of how much fuel is left. It comes pre-wired for direct installation.
Which Defenders does the AMR1496 fuel tank sensor fit?
It fits the Defender 110 and 130 petrol, 1987-2006, excluding 6-cylinder engines. The application runs from VIN JA915412 to VIN WA159806, so check your chassis number falls in that range before ordering. It's the in-tank sender for these petrol wheelbases.
What are the signs the fuel sender is failing?
Typical signs are a fuel gauge that reads erratically, sticks at one level, or stops moving altogether. On these senders the float or the resistance track usually wears over time. A new sender restores an accurate gauge reading once fitted in the tank.
Does this fuel sender fit 6-cylinder Defenders?
No. The AMR1496 sender is for the 4-cylinder petrol Defender 110 and 130 only and specifically excludes 6-cylinder engines. If your Defender has the 6-cylinder petrol engine, you'll need the correct sender for that variant instead.
