87 N/a Fuel tank sender type

Just curious but what kind of fuel level sendor does s4 n/a's come with? from what i have read a GM 0-90ohm sender is very popular amongst alot of cars, do we have the same type, if not what is it? im wondering because i was looking at fuel cells that dont come with senders, and if i got one, i would want to beable to know how much gas i got left

sorry, I saw this last night and was just too tired to reply...

anyway the fuel level sender is a 0-110 ohm, with full being typically around 3 ohm, and empty being around (you guessed it) 110-120 ohms of resistance.

I would think you can swap it into a fuel cell tank, you just may have to adjust the height depending on your tank.

The fuel level idiot light is a little different, it has continuity to ground to light the light.
