Depends on when your EM2 was last updated.  If it was before i started recommending the SW sender, it will have to be updated to work with the SW sender.   If later than that, there is a procedure for selecting the type of sender in use in the calibration table of the EC2/3.

Tracy,

Will this sending unit calibrate the same as the original unit you supplied with the EM-2?  I tried to install another VDO sending unit after I was told they leak because the one you had supplied has never leaked.  The damn thing immediately leaked!

I am trying to install one in front of the fuel filter and one after the filter and in front of the pressure regulator.  This is so I can monitor the pressure drop across the fuel filter so I may be able to tell when it needs to be replaced.  I have a switch in the line to switch between the two sending units but I think they would need to calibrate the same???

Hi Joe,
   For Fuel pressure use a Stewart Warner  114875.      These are available from Summit Racing as PN  SWW-114875. 

There is only one sensor you could possibly share with a monitor (inlet air temp) and I would not recommend sharing that one.

All the best,

Tracy
