90MJ Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Hello everyone. My name is Phil. I am from upstate NY. I just bought a 90 Comanche 2.5/4spd/2wd shortbed Sportruck with the 18ga tank, and the fuel sender started leaking when I replaced my pump. The tubes on the sender are crusty but the body of the sender is still ok. Tank, lock ring, pump and sock are all new. I can not find a sender for the life of me, even used. Apparently 87-90 is no longer available. If ANYONE has a used one I will gladly paypal you the money. I got it for my daily driver now so I don't have to run my 67 Gladiator every day and I really am not fond of this thing seaping fuel. JB weld didn't work either. I have owned nothing but Jeep for 25yrs and can usually pull obsolete things out of my butt but after a week of hunting around the country I am grasping at straws on this one. Any help or leads to sources is extremely appreciated. Thanks, Phil Cairo NY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eagle Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 Most of our members who have experienced that leak have been able to cure it using JB Weld. Perhaps you didn't clean the surfaces enough before applying the JB Weld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90MJ Posted November 20, 2018 Author Share Posted November 20, 2018 Possibly, but even with JB weld there and no leak it is going drive me crazy wondering if/when it may start leaking again. If i can't find one by tomorrow i am going to buy stainless plate and tube and build my own. Hopefully the potentiometer will come off peacefully Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One pump is from a Comanche my pump is from a Cherokee can you see the difference. Kaw4sale@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90MJ Posted November 26, 2018 Author Share Posted November 26, 2018 I ended up finding a used one in Tennessee that should be here today hopefully. What year cherokee is that for? I can see slight differences in yours but overall it looks like a great replacement. I may end up doing the same thing eventually with the compression fittings to extend it like you did. Does it read properly? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
