Cool Fuel sending unit

I have a 1996 Ford Duelly Diesel. I have a aux fuel tank in the bed of the truck. It is a 45 Gal. with tool tray on the top. The sending unit for the tank has gone bad on me. The tank is a "RPM" out of Dallas. Tx. They have gone out of business. I have tried and tried th find an aftermarket fuel sending unit for this tank with no luck at all. Any help out there??

Go to you FSM, and get the resistance measurments for your fuel gauge. With these numbers, along with the depth of the tank, you may be able to go to an industrial instrumentation company and get a level indicator with the same resistance reading and same travel length. Probably not what you wanted to hear, but seeing as they are out of buisness, you may have to fab up the sending unit you need.
