Need A Fuel Sending Unit For C-336 Outer Left Tank
 

I finally got my new 1964 C-336 Skymaster out of the shop from its seven-month annual inspection. I need the left-outboard fuel sensor/sending unit part number 1426012 in an overhaulable condition. Any suggestions? Please email me to fiestair@erols.com or call me at 301-934-5656, or fax to 301-934-2111.

Also, can someone tell me please what do I need to do to be accpeted in this board?

Thanks.

Alfonso.

I have a whole page on finding parts for your Skymaster in my "backup" website at www.SkymasterUS.com and some of the vendors listed there may be of help. I would try Don Nieser at Commodore (405-503-4686 or 722-4079) or Preferred Airparts (800-433-0814) to see if they have a new surplus unit.

You can also try some of the salvage yards for an "as-removed" unit, but follow the advise on my web page when buying such units.

In the web page I also give guidelines on the type of things you should buy new (surplus-new, if possible), those that can be bought in overhauled condition and those that can be bought "as-removed" (essentially from a parted-out aircraft). If you can find this in the surplus market, this is the kind of unit I would buy new. It shouldn't be that expensive, it's costly to install (if a used unit fails after installation), and a used unit has probably been eaten away by the same environmental forces that caused yours to fail (so it may not last long).

On the matter of the board, please note that no one gets "accepted" to this message board. Kevin runs it for the benefit of Skymaster owners and pilots, and everyone can participate, as you do now. There is no Board of Directors or other governing body.

A different outfit, the Skymaster Owners and Pilots Association (SOAPA), which mostly organizes the annual meeting, does have a governing body. Jerry DeSantis, Paul Rooy and others are involved. Send them an e-mail if you'd like to be considered, but having participated in the organization of two of these meetings, it's a lot of work! BTW, Kevin is kind enough to cover the activities of SOAPA in this website.

Alfonso, consider yourself accepted.
You have met all the requirements. You have an interest in things 336/337, and you actually submitted a message.

I have plenty of used parts from panel etc.

Thank you Walt for your kindness. I still need one fuel sending unit, and other parts, to get this bird flying the way it was at one time. You may email at fiestair@erols.com or call me at 301-934-5656. Thanks,

Alfonso.

Hello Alfonso and all
