Fuel sending unit

I have an F250 single cab with a 351W engine. I have the dual fuel tanks. The sending units are bad. The originals I do not believe are available anymore.

Does anyone know of a good replacement unit that will work?

Why do you say not available anymore? It'd have to be, what, 70 years old? I think they are available, just call the local parts house before you say that.

Not available at the dealer perhaps, but they're still available everywhere else.

They never were available.
They are spot welded to the fuel hanger.
You have to buy the whole fuel hanger and it comes with the fuel pump also.

If tanks read empty all the time, the problem is probably a bad float and not the entire sending unit.
