Hey all...happy Easter! Well, what I have been rolling over in my head for the last week or two is this. I wonder if the problem with most of our bad sending units is that the bronze float that Ford put in there was not designed for diesel, let alone biodiesel, veggie oil, and fuel cocktails, but worked pretty alright with gasoline. I had a fairly new sender from fordparts.com and within less than two years it already wasn' working right. I had gotten a nice working unit from gonecrayzi, and was all set to put that in, when I was examining the sending unit that came out, I found that when you moved the wiper arm it still followed the correct ohm range, but when I filled the tank the reading did not change. So my question is two fold...do you guys think the innacuracy could be mostly a float problem as opposed to a true electrical problem...and if yes, could we fix it by finding a plastic, diesel resistant, modern float instead of having to try to source these obsolete units or do something really difficult like the Fellro86 universal sender adaptation? Just tossing it out there for your thoughts. Thanks
