    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    Unfortunately it was home made. I cut a ring out of 1/8" rigid plastic just slightly larger diameter than the float. Then drilled the a hole in the center tight enough to press the disc onto the end of the sender, then a little JB weld quick epoxy to secure it to the sender. Initially I was...

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    Wow, what a great picture and what a clean tank! Now everyone can see exactly what the ledge looks like and why you need a spacer on an 803! Nice job.

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    Yes, tanks are different. Read posts 20 and 21. You need an 8" for a 803 but you may need to put a little "spacer" on the bottom to prevent the float from touching the step in the tank.

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    I have used 3 or 4 of the 8.5" senders on the 803's. The float is very close to rubbing on the side of the step down portion of the tank, so I made a plastic ring slightly larger than the float diameter to press onto the very bottom of the rod to prevent the float from touching the side of the...

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    Hey guys, ( CT-Mike in particular ) I've come across another 803 with an unrepairable fuel level sensor so I'm going to try one of the sensors boatman69 mentions above. My question is length... on the 803 it looks like the tank's step-down is right at the side of the fuel sensor hole, so I'm...

    Cool, I think I'm going to go that route on the next one I get with a bad sender. Hopefully the resistance range is the same as the stock sender.

    Cool thanks. Pretty sure that's the same one I saw that they say is available at NAPA and Amazon.

    MEP-803A Pegs fuel gage all the way down past empty.

    I just got done fixing one of my MEP-803A's that was randomly pegging the fuel gauge all the way to the left. It was pegged down when I bought it, so I swapped in a known good gage out of another 803' and it seemed fine. I load tested the machine for about an hour, then shut it down. Next time I...
