The VDO 150mm Reed Switch Fuel Sender is sized for a shallow fuel tank that calls for a short, vertical sensing unit. Its straight tube avoids the sweep of a conventional hinged float arm, making it easier to plan around limited internal clearance. Confirm the tank depth before selecting this compact 150mm version.
Fuel movement can cause a traditional swing-arm sender to respond rapidly as a boat pitches or rolls. The VDO tube helps dampen that movement around its sensing area, reducing abrupt changes in the level reading. Its reed-switch arrangement avoids the exposed resistance-card contacts and pivoting arm found in conventional senders.
The assembly uses stainless steel and an ethanol-resistant Viton gasket. It fits a standard SAE five-hole top-mount pattern, with a neoprene gasket and mounting hardware supplied for installation. Verify the tank opening, available depth, and gauge compatibility before replacing the existing sender.
