Fuel tank sender and pickup question.

[393_8_deuce]

What year did they go to a separate pickup and sender? My 82 GT has the sender and pickup together as one. I have a fuel tank insert with -10 and -6 lines that I need to use and my stock sender is bunk (goes to zero when I still have more than 1/3 of a tank). In other words, what years should I try and find a newr gas tank and working sender from?

They started the separate pickup/sender as early as 1983 with the early EFI cars. More commonly, you can use any 86-93 tank. There are some decent repro's out there if you want to stay away from used tanks.

One thing you will need though, is the 83-86 EFI fuel sender. The fuel gauge in the 87-93 dash's is different and the senders are different as well.

NOS is about $99.00 (E3ZZ-00009275-C) from texas mustang, but if you can find a good used 1986 Mustang GT sender, that will be fine.

When I did my EFI conversion, I ran an 87+ tank, 86GT sender, and the Grantelli pickup to Paxton external pump for my first motor combo. Worked out perfect, and the fuel guage worked like it should.

Cool, that is exactly what I needed to know. Thanks.
