1578070 Level Sender | Genuine Volvo Penta Part

🔧 Product Description

This genuine Volvo Penta level sender is a precision electrical sensing and indication component used in the fuel-tank level measurement. It is manufactured to the original Volvo Penta dimensions and interface requirements so the sender or switch retains the specified electrical range, mounting depth and signal relationship. 483 mm tubular fuel-level sender for 6-24 V instrument systems. Original Volvo Penta reference is no longer in regular production. In service, it converts fuel level in the tank into a variable electrical signal for the matched dashboard gauge. Fitment is controlled by the exact engine or product configuration and serialised parts list; confirm OEM number 1578070 against the installed assembly before ordering.

⚙️ Key Features

• Genuine Volvo Penta OEM level sender
• OEM part number 1578070
• 483 mm tubular fuel-level sender for 6-24 V instrument systems.
• Original Volvo Penta reference is no longer in regular production.
• Check supply voltage, earth integrity, connector condition and circuit continuity before condemning the sender or switch; test the complete indication circuit after installation.

🔌 Function

Converts fuel level in the tank into a variable electrical signal for the matched dashboard gauge. Check supply voltage, earth integrity, connector condition and circuit continuity before condemning the sender or switch; test the complete indication circuit after installation.

⚠️ Common Signs of Failure

• Gauge or warning indication is missing, intermittent, permanently active or clearly inaccurate
• Reading does not change smoothly with the actual level, pressure or operating condition
• Open circuit, short circuit, excessive resistance or unstable continuity at the sender/switch
• Corroded, loose, burnt or moisture-contaminated terminals and connector pins
• Signal changes when the harness is moved, the engine vibrates or the component temperature changes

🛠️ Service Notes

• Check that the 483 mm probe length suits the actual tank depth before fitting - a probe that bottoms out on the tank floor will under-read, and one that is too short for the tank will never show full.
• Fit a new sealing gasket/O-ring under the mounting flange whenever the sender is removed - a reused, compressed gasket is a common cause of a weeping fuel tank fitting.
• Confirm the sender's resistance range matches the connected gauge before wiring in; pairing it with an incompatible gauge gives a false level reading even though the circuit tests continuous.
