fuel gauge B39CR
« on: February 03 2017, 08:47 »
I am looking for a replacement of the fuel gauge of a B39Cr 2005. Someone found an alternative to the Bavaria original part?

Just dug this up for the other thread. VDO fuel gauge with sender (also available separately): http://www.parts4aircraft.com/vdo-fuel-gauge-301-015-and-vdo-float-sender-226-001-c2x9383321

Gauges are readily available from asap-supplies.co.uk and demon-tweeks.co.uk. here's one for £38.56: http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/motorsport/gauges-auxiliary/vdo-vision-fuel-level-gauge.

How sure are you that its the gauge? I am just going through the same exercise now and its the sender thats the problem.

With the sender disconnected, I have random voltage in the sender pin but a constant voltage (12V) between the feed pin and the ground pin.
