Frequently asked questions

What does the fuel tank sender unit do?
The fuel tank sender unit measures how much fuel is in the tank and signals that level to the dashboard gauge. It uses a float-operated potentiometer mounted inside the tank. On the Land Rover Defender it drives the analogue fuel gauge in the instrument cluster.
Which fuel tank does this sender fit?
This sender fits the auxiliary long-range fuel tank on Defender Pick-Up variants, not the standard main tank. If your Defender has the extra rear tank, this is the correct sender for that tank. Confirm you're ordering for the additional tank before buying.
Which Land Rover models does this sender fit?
This sender fits the Land Rover Defender from 1987 to 2006 in Pick-Up form with the extra fuel tank. Later Defender models use different sender designs. Use your VIN to confirm the variant and tank setup before ordering.
What are the signs a fuel sender is failing?
A failing fuel sender typically shows an erratic, stuck, or inaccurate gauge reading, such as a needle that jumps or never moves off empty or full. The float or potentiometer track usually wears over time. Testing the sender resistance confirms whether it's the sender or the gauge.
