Spectra Premium Fuel Tank Sending Unit P/N:FG149A
Keep an accurate read on your fuel level with the Spectra Premium Fuel Tank Sending Unit FG149A. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 1960-1965 Ford Falcon, 1961-1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery, and 1960-1963 Mercury Comet, dropping into the tank to feed a steady signal to the dash fuel gauge.
A fuel tank sending unit uses a float arm tied to a variable resistor: as the fuel level rises and falls, the float moves the resistor and changes the signal sent to the fuel gauge, so the needle tracks how much fuel remains.
- Level sensing: float and variable resistor translate tank level into a gauge reading.
- Direct-fit design: built to replace the sending unit on the listed applications.
- Gauge input: if a worn or faulty original sender is the cause of an erratic, stuck, or dead fuel gauge, this replaces it.
Signs the original sender may need replacing include a fuel gauge that reads empty when the tank is full, pins at full, jumps around, or stops responding. Diagnose the cause before ordering, since gauge, wiring, and ground faults can produce similar symptoms.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does this fuel tank sending unit do?
It mounts in the fuel tank and uses a float arm on a variable resistor to track the fuel level, sending a signal to the dash fuel gauge so the needle reflects how much fuel remains.
Which vehicles does the FG149A fit?
It is a direct-fit replacement for the 1960-1965 Ford Falcon, 1961-1965 Ford Falcon Sedan Delivery, and 1960-1963 Mercury Comet. See the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your vehicle.
How do I know my sending unit is failing?
A gauge that reads empty on a full tank, sticks on full, jumps around, or stops responding can point to a worn sender. Diagnose first, since wiring or ground faults cause similar symptoms.
What numbers does this part interchange with?
It cross-references 4017210, 692264, TNKFG149A, and USEP12432S. The manufacturer part number is FG149A.
Will replacing this fix my fuel gauge?
If a faulty original sender is the cause, this unit replaces it and restores the gauge input. If the gauge, wiring, or ground is at fault, those must be addressed separately.
