Hey, need help finding a fuel sending unit

Years ago (and i've spent an hour searching my old posts) someone linked me to the part number for purchasing the fuel tank sending unit instead of the whole pump assembly which is like $400.

I have that issue where the fuel gauge reads zero for almost half the tank then finally starts to rise slowly towards the end of the tank of fuel.

The part they linked me to was only like $100. I need help finding it if anyone could help I would be very grateful!

Hey, unreal! Where do you find this stuff?

Many many thanks, this is exactly what i need?

And by the way how is good ole Prescott? I remember mentioning to you before that I went to college there (Embry-Riddle.)

Good times were had there on whiskey row and up in the mountains for sure!

Hey one more question.

After I install these do i erase the codes by leaving the battery unhooked for a while (which obviously I will during this procedure.)

Just curious...

I "googled": fuel sending unit bulletin pathfinder :)
I LOVE PRESCOTT!!!!!!!!
I've been here 5 1/2 years now, and have never, ever questioned the move! :D
..........not sure on the code erase, but the bulletin may mention it
the battery disconnect may do the trick
otherwise, a code scanner tool can probably do it

Disconnecting the battery will probably turn out the light, but it will take a code reader or around 50 trip cycles to clear out the code.
