hey jnaut, if you read this... would appreciate you shedding some light on what part of the fuel sending unit broke... I assume it is where the metal rods connect

Travis, the steel upright arms broke out of the platic, allowing your lower fp assembly floate on top of the fuel. until the wires actually ripped out of the upper plastic where the power wires for the fp exit the gas tank.

ok thanks

I suspect that it broke under peak g-loads during braking... they should have put a third rod in there to support fore / aft loads... heck, would have even been an improvement if the two rods were on the front/back instead of left/right

...I'm at a loss for how we re-assemble and strengthen that unit, so it doesn't happen again

we may have to buy a new OEM assembly

I wonder if phunk's new fuel starvation product includes one of these assemblies???
