stock fuel sender with electric pump

[marty]

has anyone been successful with making a stock fuel sender work with a in tank fuel pump for a efi setup. is there enough room to do this or does this pose for a safety issue being the tank was never designed for this. i no there are tanks being made for our trucks for efi but was looking to keep what i have and maybe make it work and save a few bucks being the economy is for sh-t.

i used a stock 5.0 fuel sending unit and pump. check out my build thread.

that is a "street elbow" from the lows plumbing section. it would not slip on the end of the pump. i heated the fitting with a torch and it sweleld enough to slip on. I do not have a level indication though. you could always get an aftermarket level sender and install it.

ok i like what you did here but i was looking to try and make it work with the sender too.

well that is the hard part. i have searched for a 4 prong plug sender with the right diameter but i cant find one. the aftermarket level sending unit would be easy to do.

explain to me how it would work with a aftermarket sending unit. i am losing you on this. doesn't the setup your using have the sender built on it. is their any way to make that setup work with maybe the original float and arm setup. where would you mount the aftermarket sender.

the aftermarket unit would bolt into the top of the tank. you cut a hole in the top. it will have a split re-enfocing ring to go inside the tank. drop the sender in and bolt the the top plate of the sender to the ring.

I am doing a conversion for both tanks using stock sending unit. Will folow up with some details and pics.

i was thinking you made it work somehow without drilling another hole in the tank. but that would be easy to do the only thing is i don't remember but is there enough room between the tank and body for the wiring. i would think there is.

i found this today. BC broncos list it for $39

I bought it and plan to install it ASAP. so for well under $100 i have an intake EFI pump and sending unit.
