Im about to replace my fuel sending unit and fuel pump ( they are 80 bucks a piece if bought seperately but oddly enough if you buy both its 100 wtf) my sender is bad bfuel pump is good but as i said it was only 20 bucks mote for both so i said wat the hell. Question is there anything i need to be aware of before i do this or will it be a bolt off bolt on deal???

Hopefully after this my gas gauge will read full when full currently on a full tank it reads a little over half n once i get to half tank it reads empty very frustrating when ur broke n need to know how long your car will run back n forth to work

Basically remove and replace. Follow the directions for the fuel pump exactly. Jack up the rear end (not a lot) and put it on jack stands. Then use a floor jack and a small piece of plywood to lower the tank onto some blocks. Removing the gas tank will be easier with two people. Oh and make sure you wear some safety glasses. A lot of dirt gets up on that tank.

Also, the job is way easier if you drain or run the tank to almost empty.

Thnx bud bout to get started

I did run it to a 1/4 tank or so i think like i said my gauge is shit first my guage was pinned to the full line n i payed a shop 180 bucks to plug a wire back up .... Again wtf and then it worked but only read half i calld them back n they looked at the car n said its gna be the sending unit then they informed me it was gna be 3 or 400 bucks to replace so naturally i told them to give me my car back cuz i can do that myself for 80 bucks the sad thing is he is a family friend n he was still tryin to rape me on the price

I don’t want to sound like a dick but where did you buy a sending unit and pump for a hundred dollars? And what size pump did you get? I am asking because I saw your other post and just realized how much you spent in this post.

[shamrock81887]

Autozone 110$ and i its a stock pump if u look on their website look up 93 mustang fuel pump n you will see there is a fuel pump alone for 80 then there is one below for 100 that comes with the sending unit the sock all assembled n ready to go

[shamrock81887]

90 psi

[shamrock81887]

By the way it was the hanger and pump for a hundred i was confused by their website the fuel level sending unit is 80 bucks which i just ordered cuz thats what needed replacing in the first place but their website lists this item as a sending unit and also lists the fuel level sending unit as " sending unit " also so their stupid ass website made me order the wrong part

[shamrock81887]

Even the hanger by its self is listed as a sending unit wtf

If you already spent the money then its too late but you should have went with a walbro 255 high velocity pump

[shamrock81887]

Wouldnt that have required changing my injectors 2 n besides that i dont plan on doing anything special to the motor power adder wise i just want it to be stock i love the fact i get better gas mileage than my sisters 2010 ford edge she payed 28 grand for and she only gets 17 mpg i payed 4500 for a mine n i get around 20

[shamrock81887]

I only have 85000 miles on the odometer n i kno this car will run great for a long time after im done using this a dd and won a few awards at the car shows im gonna make it a strip car but i want to spend a few years with it first

Makes sense now. Some parts you can buy locally and some you shouldn’t. Are you familiar with Late Model Restoration, CJ Pony Parts, and National Parts Depot? If not add them to your favorites.

FYI.......it's possible that your sending unit is not the problem. 1990-1993 mustangs have a small circuit board that plugs into the back side of your gauge cluster. Ford calls it a voltage reg for your gauges. There about 75 bucks at latemodelresto.com that's what went bad on mine. My gauge always Read empty until I replaced it

[shamrock81887]

My gas gauge reads somewhat it used to be pinned to full but i took it to a shop n they fixed it ( loose wire) then i took it back after i found out it read half full on a full tank n they said ( after dropping my tank an assesing all options) that it was my sending unit but they ordered the wrong part so i picked it up n never took it back cuz they wanted 400 to change it n the guy at autozone told me that i could do it myself for 80 bucks
