X2 this can be as well I seen a 94.5 have this problem and for some reason the water in fuel light would come on at the same time we changed the bypass and it stopped.

I had considered that, but I don't see anyway of water getting in the fuel. And the water in fuel light never came on.
Thanks everyone for your quick responses. I am going to drop the tank in the next couple days. I will report back with my findings.

Thanks Tim, that is a wee bit different from what I have worked on in the past.
If you encounter a broken sock on one of our tanks couldn't a piece of fuel resistant nose and a different type of sock be clamped to the hose and just let it lay on the bottom of the tank?

My truck does the same thing....definitely sounds like the sender is broken. I can only go to about 1/8 to 1/4 on my rear tank, but I can well down to the E line with the front tank. For now I am living with it....I just figure I have about 32 gallons in fuel total instead of 36 (or whatever it is).
But if I decide to pull it and put a new one in....does the tank actually have to be dropped or is there enough room under there to pull it off the top?

You have to drop the tank to replace the sending/pickup unit. Not enoough room above them. Good news is that it does not have to come all of the way out, just undo the hangers, rollover valve, fuel lines and electrical connector and let the tank hang down on one side to do the replace.

If you have multiple things to do under the bed, bed removal is the way to go, six bolts, tail lights and electrical connections.

thats the little black round filter. this comes with the sending unit also.
maybe I misunderstood the question. if you were only asking for the filter? if so, Then tjbeggs is correct.
