Fuel Tank Gauge Unit
Mitsubishi FUSO®

The Fuel Tank Gauge Unit, also known as the Fuel Sender Unit, is a critical component of a commercial truck's fuel system. This part is responsible for measuring the amount of fuel in the tank and sending that information to the fuel gauge on the dashboard. The Fuel Tank Gauge Unit is typically located inside the fuel tank and consists of a float connected to a variable resistor. As the fuel level in the tank changes, the float moves up or down, causing the resistance to change. This change in resistance is then sent to the fuel gauge, which displays the current fuel level to the driver. The Fuel Tank Gauge Unit is an essential part of a commercial truck's fuel system, as it allows the driver to accurately monitor the amount of fuel in the tank. Without this part, the driver would have no way of knowing how much fuel is left, which could lead to running out of fuel unexpectedly. Additionally, a malfunctioning Fuel Tank Gauge Unit could cause inaccurate readings on the fuel gauge, leading to overfilling or underfilling the tank. Therefore, it is important to ensure that this part is functioning properly and to replace it if necessary.
