What wax to use on fuel tank & where to get fuel level sensor
 
For fun and games I pulled my fuel sending unit FSU. First off I discovered a layer of was (i am assuming) coated the FSU seal. I am planning on using Johnson paste wax to reseal the FSU. Any better ideas?

Second the fuel level sensor is not providing reliable readings. I have looked for a replacement but have not found one so far. Can any one point me in the right direction?

Check Leroy Diesel for their metrum fuel rod,it is the sensor only and is installed on the original sending unit in place of the sensor as far as I know.

So Leroy still has a few metrum fuel rods. But he wants $145.00 :scare2: ! I can buy a whole new FSU for that price. Well actually its more like $200 for a new FSU.

Any other leads would be appreciated.

The stock style sending units are notorious for inaccurate gauges-thats why the metrum fuel rod was created-regain an accurate gauge under all conditions.

The money is yours to spend as you like though.

For economy just look at rockauto online.
