    Long story short... cleaned my rusty tank and disintegrated the float arm.

    Thanks in advance!

    I probably could, does anyone have a rod? Does anyone have the full / empty potentiometer ohm readings so I could calibrate if that's the route I end up going?

    I gutted the internals out of my fuel sending unit because they were rusty. If you still have need of them, I can snap a pic so you can determine what value they have to you, if any.

    I don't have the plate, I cut everything off of the outer plate and am simply using that to block off the hole, sans fuel gauge.

    Ryan,

    Let me know if you want the functional unit from Toomany -- if yours still seals the tank then I'd be happy to swap it out. I just need it to close off the tank but i don't need the float arm. In fact I could just send you that part if that would work for you?

    I'd love to have a good unit, but it didn't seem like a priority when I was getting the tank together so I simply made a block off plate out of my broken one instead of trying to find a working one in my budget.

    If a working one is a possibility, I'd love to have it working, and I can send Ribo my block off plate, which he's agreed to doing. And then I'd still have my spare float arm from my original unit which I could send to Ryan if he ever logs back in.
