Fuel and fresh water level
senders
Installation of sender in tank
The Volvo Penta fuel and fresh water level senders
are suitable for a max. tank depth (H max) of 600 mm
(23"). If the tank is deeper, use another sender but
note that this sender must have the following resis-
tance scales:
Fuel (two types)
3 –180 ohms, 3 ohms = empty tank
240 –30 ohms, 240 ohms = empty tank
Fresh water
3 –180 ohms, 3 ohms = empty tank.
NOTE! Type of fuel level sender is identified by the
EVC system when setting “FUEL TANK SET EMP-
TY”.
NOTE! Never use the fuel level sender as a fresh wa-
ter sender. Corrosion problems can occur.
Make a hole for the sender in the fluid tank, diameter
60 mm. Locate the hole so that the float can move
freely inside the tank.
NOTE! Clean all burrs out of the tank.
Adjust sensor length (L=H/2) on the basis of the min.
and max. fluid levels. Then do not to forget to extend
the sensor length by the gap (A). The gap (A) be-
tween the tank and the maximum level must not be
less than 40 mm.

There is a label on the PCU showing the connectors
with marking and color coding.
IMPORTANT! It is very important to reduce
stress from the cables to the connectors. It is
recommended that all cables are fixed to the
PCU with strain reliefs.
Mount strain reliefs as shown in the illustration above.
