Ford P/N for replacement tank sender float?

| A long, long time ago, in the Beforetimes, Doug Dutra wrote an article containing a Ford part number for a replacement float (only) to fix leaky fuel gauge tank sender units. I can't find the P/N. Anyone still got?

Dang, I have that issue! To bad its buried in the black hole known as my storage unit. If it helps any, I believe its the issue featuring the A100 vans and trucks. Doug did an artical on 25 cheap up-grade tips in that issue. Sadly, that artical didn't help me much (B body owner).  _________________ Eric

| It's in the parts database. Use the Parts List link on the main page and search for "float"' |

Ford seems to have lost their minds on fuel sender floats. One dealer near me wanted $17 another wanted $19.
I found mine at Auto Krafters, P/N 15309, for $6.95/$11 and change with shipping:

My old one is still rattling around in the tank behind the seat where I dropped it along with a fish net I was trying to retrieve it with. One day I'll get time to remove the tank and dump them both out.

Last time I purchased this item at a F@%$ dealer I also had "sticker shock" but then realized that the price was for a package with 2 floats in it.
I wonder if they still come 2 per box??

| I bought the float at the ford dealer a couple years ago. I recall it being about $12 for one. If I'm not mistaken, the sock comes from GM right?

I didn't ask but that may be the problem. I don't think any of them checked but look up the part number on the computer - didn't mention it being a package of 2.
Unless you need 2 the one from Auto Krafters works fine and looks exactly the same. The package even has a Ford logo on it and says "Official Liscensed Product" on it. Made of brass.

My gas gauge ('63 Dart 170) doesn't work. Will I need all of these to fix it?

You'll need to do some diagnosis to find out what's causing the problem. It could be a dead sender, but it could also be the sender's fine and just the float has sunk, or it could be a missing ground at the sender, or it could be a dead fuel gauge itself, or it could be a wiring problem.
Get the three books described in this thread as quickly as you can; they are the very first tools to buy when learning how to fix your car._________________ 一期一会

| Seriously, thank you, Dan. This is the info I've been needing. When I was in school, they didn't allow girls to take shop (believe me, I tried), so I've got a lot of catch up to do.

Sure thing, glad to help.
There was a girl in my 9th-grade English class who is probably still better than I am at rebuilding engines. And I'm a better cook than some women I know. The best revenge against small-minded bigots who issue rules like "Girls can't take shop" is to do exactly what you're doing: learn it anyhow._________________ 一期一会
