Fuel Tank Sending Unit

Well, the fuel tank sending unit and my dad's Jeep is rusted beyond belief, we need a replacement. Where can I get a good quality one, not some Chinese piece of junk? This is a 69 CJ5 with a V6, under seat tank, with the two fuel lines in the sending unit.

 

Just bought a rear unit from MTS tanks.

 

MTS is a good bet. I expect you won't have any control over source ... I would reuse the sender, even if it looks terrible. Electrical performance is the main metric for acceptance. Pretty sure there's no V6-style tank with the lock ring and two-hole sender available other than the MTS plastic tank. MTS COMPANY, L.C. - Jeep CJ/YJ Gas Tanks Call them and ask who is retailing their tanks.

 

We don't need a tank (I think) just the sender.

 

Use your multimeter and test it. You can buy the gasket and float if needed.

 

It's rusted bad enough that it won't even move....

 

Just edited mine above... MTS is what I bought for the rear tank on my '69 (PO added).

Sender fits good and comes with new lock ring and a flat-seal rather than o-ring. Seal they supply did not fit good (I could not get lock-ring secured, too thick in total) so I got a different o-ring that's fuel happy, but otherwise happy with it. have not put fuel in tank yet.

 

I got one from Walck's. It has a brass float. Make sure it comes with o-ring and locking ring, the first one I ordered, did not come with those parts. Have not used mine yet, do not know if there are any problems.
