Fuel Level Sender
The fuel level in automotive applications is typically measured by a float and lever
arm assembly that operates a variable resistor mechanism. In many cases, this
assembly (known as a fuel sender or fuel level sender) is mounted in the fuel tank
and integrated into the fuel delivery module. This module removes fuel from the
tank and delivers pressurized fuel to the power train.

Fuel Level Sender Design & Construction
The variable resistor mechanism is comprised of a wiper and a resistor element
printed on a ceramic substrate. The resistor element (also known as a fuel card) is
mounted close to the pivot point of the float arm, which is attached to the wiper.
As the float rises and falls with the fuel level, the wiper moves in a rotary motion
across the tracks on the resistor element, translating the float position into a
resistance value. This is converted into a voltage or current signal driving the
indication system in the dashboard. Less common are linear type fuel level
senders where a float moves within a tube, translating the fuel level into a linear
wiper movement. This type of fuel level sender is mainly used in space-
constrained tanks, as in motorcycles and scooters.
Most car models have custom designed fuel tanks, where the tank is molded to fit
around other components and body frames. There is an increasing trend to use a
more complex blow-molded plastic tank versus the traditional steel tank. On rear
wheel drive and four wheel drive vehicles, a saddle tank is often used, where the
two halves of the fuel tank straddle the rear drive shaft. These complex fuel tank
geometries require specific fuel card resistor profiles so that the translation of the
