Fuel Sender Issues...can't find the right part...HELP!!

#1 Post by rabdogg » Wed Apr 23, 2014 4:53 pm

I have a Berkshire 222CCF pontoon....I started having issues with the fuel gauge not reading correctly. I pulled the sender unit...and there was no bottom part or anything that actually touched the fuel. I've searched all over trying to find this damn sender....the tank is made by Ameri-Kraft (F3104). Please help....its not that diffulcult to replace...I just want to put OEM if at all possible. Thanks in advance.....

oh...and if this is not the sender.....call me what you will

I don't know about Berkshire, but I know that with every issue I've had like this, I've contacted my manufacturers customer service line, and they've been very good about sending replacement parts.

I have the same issue on my Sweetwater pontoon.

I decided to email Ameri-Kart and ask them. Here is the response I got:

You will need to contact the pontoon manufacturer for this part. I show that this is an SSI ultrasonic sending unit that is no longer available. They should be able to help you convert this to a WEMA sender or they might still have access to the original OEM parts.

I then contacted my manufacturer who said I need to contact my selling dealer.

Looks like I will just replace with an aftermarket $20 unit.

Here is a link to the WEMA that will probably work also:
