Mine were made in Mexico
Is there finally an accurate fuel sending unit?

Motorcycles can have the same problem. Mostly the brass floats that leak, or the O rings that leak.
OBMs, outboard motors, also bend the float adjustment part, on bumpy roads.

I feel that anyone that owns an B body or other Mopar, has been down this road. The aftermarket 100% will never really read accurate to the gauge ( even if calibrated ).... at least not the "sweep" of the gauge . As shown in the previous post, the OEM is not a straight linear resistance path, aftermarkets for the most part are. This thread was , in hope a search for an aftermarket that correctly duplicated the OEM unit.
Me persoanlly, as well as many other members are running the meter match. I think it works very well. I set it so that at E I still have approx 5 liters of gas left. From 1/2 to full it will vary a lot. When its full it will read full , but everything in between will move rapidly.
What i paid most attention to is the 1/4 to E . It is pretty accurate IMO , and honestly all that I am worried about.

I should mention, none of my original gauges work, even after spending much $$. So my volts, oil pressure, temperature and fuel, are all separate gauges. This is a problem with staying stock. Too, my gas gauge is in the back of the camper van, nearer the tank.

We need more information. Like, how is this one different than the inaccurate sending units?
Have you installed it and verified it's accuracy?
Was everything else stock? Gauge, tank?
He had his OE unit rebuilt and that's the place that did it.

sorry I missed a few days my post was #37. I had my OE restored I thought 3 years ago turns out it was 6, how time flies. They installed a “new” Float it filled up with gas the first year. I was shopping around Carlisle for a float and stumbled across a plastic one seems to be working fine, I use non ethanol if that makes a difference.
