fuel tank sending unit

[ReynoldsD]

My 90 fuel tank band broke and dropped one end of the fuel tank braking the fuel line off the tank. Dealer said they dont make this any more. I tried napa store and they said it was a captive (dealer) part. HELP thie is my feed truck and my cows are hungry!!!! It is -22 bellow this morning, might have somthing to do with plastic braking.

I have a NIB for a 92 model. If you have a p/n I can check to see if it's the one you need.

'92 Fuel tank mounting bands.

Eric,



If you still have the NIB fuel tank mounting bands, I would like to get those from you. I have a '92 in need of new ones to replace the corroded ones before they break. Please contact me asap if I can buy them from you. Thanks.

Backyard fix

I had roughly the same problem. Broke the plastic piece while trying to replace a fuel line that had rusted thru. Cost of the new tank unit was going to be $300. 00 +. I took a piece of 1/4" aluminum plate, cut it to fit inside the screw on top of the old unit, installed 2 bulkhead fittings (3/8") in the plate. Then I measured to the bottom of the tank, cut a piece of 3/8 copper tube, put a brass tee on the bottom and connected the top to the bulkhead fitting. Then I put a short piece of 3/8 tube on the other bulkhead fitting (return line) and put the little rubber valve from the original unit's return line on it. I then bent 2 short pieces of tubing so they would connect to the feed and return lines on the truck and put them in the top of the bulkhead fittings. Re-assembled an I was "On the road again" I was without a fuel gauge but it never worked right anyway so i didn't really lose anything, and this setup WON'T BREAK!! Hope this helps someone, Max
