Here's where I'm wondering about the shop manual - it shows the 'Fuel gauge unit' and 'Fuel guage unit connector' seperate from the whole pump assembly listed above, but neither has any of those dashed-line thingies to indicate where they go in relation to the tank. From where they are floating in the drawing, I'd guessed that the pump goes into the hole in the front of the top of the tank while the guage asmby goes in a separate hole near the back. Could you be thinking of another model or year?


If the truck is similar to the Montero, the fuel pump and the gauge sender unit are both mounted towards the top/front of the tank. The sender unit mounts in a separate hole next to the fuel pump, and has a separate gasket. For comparison go here: sooper-sekret linky and look at the '92 Montero FSM for engine, chassis, body. Look at the drawings starting on page 13-97 and compare with what you've got. The drawings show a separate mounting for the sender unit on the driver's side of the fuel pump mounting location.

Does the truck have an access plate in the bed so you don't have to drop the fuel tank? If so, then replacing this yourself should be relatively easy.

Good luck! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
