Who made the tank? RDS?
Look at the tank data plate and call them

and or

buy a 2 ' tube and cut

use the new tube to measure depth and cut half inch to one inch short to increase available gas assuming you are using a RACOR fuel downstream

I replaced mine and removed the tube bottom screen and ball and spring assembly in the ASV or it is your boat, disassembly the ASV, inspect for rust, dirt, operation and clean. Apply a little suction the out side the it should pull close
I think ASV have several pressure types 5lbs, 10lbs

I dont know the tube diameter. I expect 1/4" tube to a 3/8" tank fitting bc a bought 3/8 tank fitting and tube assembly
I sealed the fitting to tank with sealant

Leak Lock or equivalent see https://www.simyamaha.com/Leak_Lock_Pip ... /10001.htm

Amazon has 3/8 tank fitting with 1/4" tube with no screen and 24" long at https://www.amazon.com/Moeller-Aluminum ... 6033931011

and seen them in West Marine

Hopefully others will comment
 
Consider that the fuel tank sender is an arm attached to a rheostat. There is about 200 ohms resistance across this. Testing is as below:

From Jamestown Marine:

Fuel Systems (Marine)
Voltage - "I" to "G" terminal - 10 to 16 volts.
Test gauge as follows: Connect "hot" wire to the "I" terminal and ground wire to "G" terminal. Remove sender (usually pink) wire from back of gauge. Gauge should read below "EMPTY". Next, add a short wire from the gauge's "S" (sender) terminal to ground. Gauge should read above "FULL." If the pointer sweeps back and forth, gauge is OK.
The sender can be tested by checking its resistance with a volt/ohm test meter (use analog meter) as follows:
Remove sender (usually pink) wire from sender.
Connect two test meter wires to two sender terminals (or center terminal & flange if sender has only one terminal).
Move float arm by hand. Approximate values: Empty = 240 ohms, 1/2 = 103 ohms, Full = 33 ohms. (Teleflex sender: rheostat housing installed upside down will cause gauge to read backwards. See illustration.)
Sender resistance tolerances at full may cause the gauge to read 2-3 pointer widths either side of the full mark.
The sender will accurately operate only one standard gauge at a time. It is not designed for dual station use with standard gauges.
Gauge will not operate accurately from more than one sender at a time. Some installations use a switch to connect one gauge to various tanks, one at a time.
Sender will not operate in water tanks. Rheostat will become electrically "open".
Be certain sender dimensions are adjusted per the instruction sheet.
If sender is "open" (infinite resistance) gauge will read below empty. If sender is shorted (0 resistance) gauge will read above "FULL".
Some "bowing" of the flange may occur when the 5 mounting screws are tightened. The gasket under the flange will normally seal the flange properly, but do not overtighten the mounting screws.
Sender must be grounded, or gauge will always read "EMPTY."
If sender is installed in a tank not designed for a sender, care must be taken to seal screw threads. Sealant under screw head is also advisable. Sealant must withstand gas and diesel fuels.
 
My tank ended up being 16 deep. I put a 15 inch wema sending unit in. The old one was 14 inches. Not sure why it had a 2 inch difference. I emailed Parker and they said that I should put in a 13 inch. That is even stranger. Brent how long was your old pick up tube?
