Fuel Sending Unit Float
Outside of mail order, is there anywhere else to get a sending unit float for a cab tank?

try a pill bottle of the size that fits the holder, you'd be surprised how well that works...

Another vote for the Ford Dealer. $4.27 and about 25 min... Never to pass a gas station in error again!

$6.29, that's what it cost to fix.
Incidently, the guy said the sending unit, itself, is available under some mid-70's superceeded number. I thought the sender wasn't available from the dealer.
