VDO Reed Switch 180MM Tank Depth Fuel Sender

For tanks requiring an 180mm sending depth, the VDO Reed Switch Fuel Sender provides an upright alternative to a swing-arm fuel sender. The 180mm tube follows a narrow path inside the tank rather than needing room for a float arm to rotate. That makes this length worth considering when internal baffles or a compact tank shape restrict side clearance.

Its tubular sensing design helps steady fuel-level readings when the vessel moves and the fuel surface shifts. Without a conventional rotating arm and sliding resistance card, the assembly eliminates those particular wear points. The installation still depends on matching the sender to the tank depth and the connected gauge.

VDO uses stainless steel construction along with an ethanol-resistant Viton seal in this model. A standard SAE five-hole mounting flange provides the top attachment, and the package includes a neoprene gasket and mounting hardware. Check the tank flange and wiring arrangement when planning the 180mm replacement.
