Sub Tank Help (1 Viewer)

[CaptBeardilocks]

I'm in the middle of installing a sub tank in my 80. The used sub-tank set up that I bought was for a petrol truck (single outlet on the tank, no fuel return, electric pump etc). However it seems to have a 2-wire gauge sending unit in the tank? It has only the triangular float. Some yahoo stuck a diesel sender on my petrol tank?

This style:

I believe the correct petrol sub tank sending unit should look like this? Can anyone confirm?

Assuming that is correct, the part number I'm pulling up is 83320-69095 which is showing as NLA. However, I keep seeing references on the forum here (spent the last two hours going down this hole) for 83320-69215, which seems to be available. Will that number work for an 80 series petrol sub-tank?

You got your ground, level gauge and an empty sensor wires. 3
If your using George's ecu you'll need the empty sensor for the auto pump shut off.
I forget what the sending unit part number is, but I did find it here somewhere and got it from partsouq or amayama.
El'Mariachi thread has everything in it.
I'll look to see if I saved the box or some scribble I may have left with the part number.

I just went through every page of El Mar's thread. And a few others. Lol. There wasn't much talk about the sending unit in the sub-tank. Lots of discussion about the sending unit in the main tank and the wiring for the 75% full shut off. I am using George's ECU so I don't care about the main tank level.

I have 2 wires coming out of my sending unit, 2 pins in the triangular connector, and 3 wires/pins in the pigtail from to the harness. So I guess I would say that mine is a 2-wire. I wasn't sure it it grounded through the case, but the name "3-wire" is pretty definitive I guess. Lol.

So I guess someone dropped a diesel sender in my petrol sub tank.

Can anyone confirm that 83320-69215 will work/fit in this tank?

EDIT:
A bit more digging and I found it in El Mar's thread. Must have had my eyes crossed from so many pages of posts on this subject.

Chris, that does look like a pretty clean tank. It also looks like a 100 series one, which is slightly different, but should be fine from what I understand. Is the eBay seller sending you any of the other bits and pieces, or just pulling out of the deal? What a pain. :cheers: Steve

ParadiseCruiser confirms that it is the correct part number.

Thanks.

83320-69215 is the aux tank sender.
I have no proof, but I'm sure that is the one i bought.
I'll keep looking and can help with the george ecu set up if i find my scribbles pages

Partsouq lists 60695 for some reason but Megazip lists 69215. So it's definitely the right one.

Yes it is 83320-69215, also, if you want to kick it up a notch, the female end is housing 90980-11245 and you will need 3 wires to complete it, I have the parts but going to get around to this sometime soon. I decided with OEM male/female end since I do not want butchered connections. I can solder the rest as I make the harness/connections.
