Comanche_Fanatic Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 My fuel gauge isnt working properly, a full tank of gas will read 1/4 on the gauge. I dropped the gas tank and looked at the float/sending unit. the wires inside seem to be bad and I'd like a replacement as well as the in-tank filter. Problem is, where could i even locate one. Stealership doesnt have it, Advance autos doesnt have it, I'm afraid that the next one i walk into wouldnt even know what it is. they keep saying its a fuel pump (as if) and its not a pump at all, just a little rod to the filter, with 2 wires leading to the float. confirming it has an external mechanical fuel pump. which is what i don't need. can anyone help me locate one? Ive got a short time window to get the jeep running again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeepdoggydogB Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 For $95 you have a NOS unit http://www.ebay.com/itm/NOS-86-Jeep-Comanche-Fuel-Tank-sending-unit-assy-23-5-gallon-tank-52003652-/321096727910?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ac2db3d66&vxp=mtr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyav8r Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 Does anyone know if that OEM P.N. is just for '86 2.8L V-6 with 23.5 gallon tank or will it fit other years/engines/tanks? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keyav8r Posted April 2, 2013 Share Posted April 2, 2013 "This product no longer available." Don't need one at the moment, but thought maybe I should get one while I could - but, apparently, I can't! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Comanche_Fanatic Posted April 2, 2013 Author Share Posted April 2, 2013 great! now that we have located the sendingunit, any news on the internal fuel filter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comanche_Fanatic Posted April 3, 2013 Author Share Posted April 3, 2013 still looking for the internal fuel filter, no luck. I'm starting to consider putting a double external fuel filter system in, one under the hood and one under the chassis. ill have to make a screen for the sending unit if i can't locate one. so far I havent considered ordering the new sending unit yet because I have a strong feeling that the bad ground ins on the sending unit itself, I'm in the process of repairing all the wires and ground systems. the float i can do nothing with cept spray eletrictal cleaner and strengethen the connector. I hate going 'redneck' styles when i fix jeeps but somethings gotta be done! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
