You will need a sending unit made for the brand of ( Fuel Cell ) ,and also you will need a sending

unit for a Ford, I have read that the wrong sending unit on a Fuel cell , makes the gauge read

backwards on a Ford !

Personally I like the in cab tank, I have a newer F100 with the other out of cab tanks and they are a PITA to fill. that plastic burp tube in the filler necks never seems to work right. If the truck is leaning even the slightest toward the gas pumps you have to trickle fuel into it. The in cab tank works great.
