jeff351 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 MTS COMPANY, L.C. - Sending Units I just dropped my tank tonight to install my new sender. Figure its a good time to replace some rotted hoses while I'm under there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eaglescout526 Posted January 23, 2021 Share Posted January 23, 2021 The fact anyone out there is doing work on some old US Renaults is interesting at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torq_Shep Posted January 23, 2021 Author Share Posted January 23, 2021 I checked their website and unless I am blind they don't make them for the HOs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I previously confirmed with MTS that they do not. An option is to get a pre HO one and change the fuel sender in your cluster to a pre HO guage. The two senders read opposite. An alternative option is to send your unit to www.tristarrradiator.com who will do a superb refurb job on your existing sender unit. They did mine.

Lewis E Posted January 24, 2021 Share Posted January 24, 2021 I bought the 86 to 90 one from MTS with pump and one for a 91 XJ from MTS with no pump. I drilled out the rivets for the rheostat or Potentiometer (whichever that thing is) and swapped the XJ one over onto the 86 to 90 MJ sending unit. It works perfectly. A little expensive but I was tired of not knowing how much gas I had and MTS has been hinting at a unit for HO MJs for what? a year now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They put a new rheostat in plus a float etc. All you do is add the pump. I used a Carter P90011. $45 from RockAuto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, with the XJ one I had about a 10 gallon tank. The one from MTS fit very well. I don't have an original MJ one to compare it to but it went in OK. I spoke with one of the MTS guys about selling just the rheostat for the 91 and up XJ so I could do the swap I did without buying the entire other unit....they wouldn't do that. Didn't want to discuss it with me really. Not sure why they aren't making what I made and selling 'em to us....it works perfectly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
