The fuel level 'sender' is the sensor in the tank. It does not incorporate a fuel line, although the coupe sensor has a fuel vent fitting. For the fuel outlet line, see Fuel tank.

Overview
To remove the sender, only a screwdriver and hammer is needed. Carefully drive the Lock Plate (retaining ring) anti-clockwise until loose.

Wiring
There is a single Yellow wire on the sender. It goes forward to the dash Fuel Gauge. This wire is grounded through the sender resistance.
See main article: Fuel Gauge Wiring
Sender Specifications
As measured by club members, by moving the float up and down from stop to stop:
- 10-12 ohms fully up
- 88-100 ohms fully down
- 35 ohms half full (per Nissan Factory Service Manual)
NOTE: This does not necessarily match "Full" and "Empty" marks of the fuel gauge, due to normal manufacturing tolerances. Typically a 1200 reads well 'E' before it runs out of fuel, this is normal.
