Corrrect fuel tank sender?

Hi Guys,
Here is what I have: a '69 CJ5 with the factory Dauntless V6. I'm currently in the middle of a build, I have a thread going in the builds section called Don's '69 rebuild.
My question that should be relevant to this forum concerns trying to find the right fuel tank sender. This Jeep has a replacement steel underseat tank, in good shape. The sender that the PO had in place is bad, the resistance winding is broken, I visually confirmed this. It has 2 fuel line fittings, one suction and the other return, matches the fuel pump I have. I want to keep the 2 line feature to minimize vapor lock problems. The old sender did not appear to be the right one to match the tank opening, it has a smaller flange surface that doesn't match the 6 holes in the tank opening. I think it is the sender using the lock ring like the later model Jeeps used, and my tank has the 6 screw holes.
I have seen a sender for a '66, it has the wide thick 6 hole flange for mounting to the tank, but no fuel lines integral to the sender.
So, what I am trying to find is a sender unit with the 6 hole mounting flange, with the 2 integral fuel lines. I have searched the vendors online, and don't have any answeres yet.
Anyone know of a part number and vendor?

 

What your looking for may not exist. Originally the 6 screw sender (under seat tank) has only a wire connection terminal center of cover plate. My tank has small vent line connection at top left and main fuel connection out the bottom. This is original 66 mod. This is not to say you can't modify something to get what you want, just saying you may be wasting your time trying to find a part nr for something that aint. HTH

 

I also have a late 69 with the V6 engine and it has the factory underseat tank with the sending unit that is held in place with the lock ring. It also has the two fittings, one for the return line. They do exsit--however, I have never seen this type fuel tank reproduced. Most likely because they were so few made with it. It was just a matter of months when they moved the fuel tank to the rear under the bed. Finding an original tank is going to be slim to none which will cause you to go with the earlier tank and sending unit and just cap off the return line on your fuel pump.

 

Or... solder in a nipple for the return line on the new sending unit. Would not be hard to do.

BTW when I put an under-seat tank in my '73 (likely in 1974), I used a tank with a lock ring and a sender with two nipples. I bought the tank from the Jeep dealer stock where I worked. You might be able to find that kind of tank NOS somewhere...

 

Or...install a tee fitting in the supply line to dump the return into. That's how mine was before I moved the return to dump into the tank.

Check out a sending unit at NAPA. That's what I'm using on my '70 under seat tank. You may be able to make it work.

 

I've found out that my original sender would have been held on with the lock ring, not the 6 screws.
What I decided to do was get a new early model sender and drill holes in the top for the 2 fuel lines, then silver solder to attach the fuel tubes salvaged from the old sender. I want to retain the return line design to help prevent vapor lock, and I also like not having the fuel line exposed under the floor vulnerable to damage from rocks and branches, or close to the exhaust.
Thanks for the replies, guys.
