Fuel Sender Repair

[fhedges]

The fuel pump is expensive. Do you have to replace the entire fuel pump to fix a sender that is not working? What other causes will make the fuel gauge not work?

What year and model of boat?

For many 1990s Seadoos, this link describes how to diagnose and repair the sender->http://seadooforum.com/showthread.php?t=5826.

For clarification, the fuel sender/baffle in this collection of boats is only a pickup and not an actual fuel pump.

It is a 2003 XP DI

I have two of the with the same problem.

Your about to get ripped off for $700 to fix the fuel pump. Buy a new $12 float and your back in business.

Only problem is that this 2003 XP DI actually does have a combination fuel pump/sender assembly. So it wouldn't surprise me that is how much it actually costs. It is not the same as the baffle-only setup in the older Seadoos.

That said, you have nothing to lose on removing the original fuel pump assembly and seeing what is going on. You already know it needs to be replaced - so take it out and take it apart. Maybe a broken wire, junk inside or something else that you can DIY fix. Worst case, you have to buy a sender - but wasn't that where we started anyway?
