sending unit

[wolfnutts]

had my transmission out an figured now was a good a time as any to pull my pump an sending unit from tank.
ive only had the used one i got from a bone yard for a yr an a half lol
as expected brass float in mine had a hole an is paper thin surprized they could even make it outa the factory an still work what a joke.
found out my sending unit was ok but since i had the newer used peice id use that , just scraped up a solid round type float at bone yard made a little notch with my dremil tool an shazamm a working fuel gauge first time since ive owned trk see pics below

Nice remember what vehicle that new float came outta? i need to do this too since when i fill the tank it will read 3/4 or less. have never seen it read full since i have had the truck

 

[wolfnutts]

no cant tell what that float came out of . the tanks were all in a pile waiting to be crushed, if i had to guess id say maybe a grand mark eee. i just looked for a tank with same style of hold down ring an got lucky first one i opened had this round one
i keep the hold down ring ,an good thing i did when i dropped my tank i about peeled mine off with my fingers
any one that needs a good sender unit let me know just needs some time in a blast cabinet to clean up top to nock off the rust an a float an you are good

It's possible to buy the float without the sending unit. This is one of the links in # 23 in my list of useful threads: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=154007

Maybe you could send Torrie an email. His website is WWW.FastPartsNetwork.Com. He's one of this site's sponsors.

well after 10 min i found part their at fast part they dont say if its brass or ?? foam style .dont know what i do wrong on that site but ive deleted it of my favorite site list searching is so messed up their or is it me ???

 

[cybergasm]

Well your right it does'nt say what material the float is

I had no problems at all searching there when i looked up the float it took less than 2 mins to find it

 

[wolfnutts]

probably me then cant teach this old dog new tricks lol site kept asking for model an info before it would search then id get same list of parts i found it some how do i have to have an account to get to a better search page their or just to buy stuff ??

 

[cybergasm]

I don't have an account with them. From their home page i clicked on parts catalog and then I entered the part number in where it says search by part number or keyword and in the box next to it i selected FORD and then press search and viola up came the price for the float.

Their search engine only works for part numbers. Keywords always come up as not found.
