Fuel sending unit for 1987 GMC Sierra
My truck is a 1987 GMC Sierra R3500, 7.4L TBi, with dual fuel tanks.
Question what is the correct fuel sending unit number for it? Is it one sending unit or 2 sending unit Safety? Someone told me it’s FG05M, FG05N???? But I’m not sure if this is correct, but if it’s, which one is for the passenger and which for the driver? Does any of the sending unit fits any tank, OR each tank has a different fuel sending unit? Because I got confused Thanks |

I was just about to post this. My half ton 87 has dual tanks and it lists pump assemblies for Aux tank and regular. I googled and it seems nobody know which tank is Aux and which is regular.

the right side is the main passenger side on 73-91 gm fullsize trucks drivers side it optional . the fuel tanks for a 87 up first efi models use fuel tanks that are baffled so the fuel can be picked up. they do call for that both tanks to be swaped for the efi setup the sending units are different part numbers for right and left tank.

Re: Fuel sending unit for 1987 GMC Sierra
I’m not sure how much difference it makes to begin with. I daily a 87 Silverado and I just replaced my drivers side tank and sending unit. Since I didn’t know better I ordered the sending unit for main tank, not auxiliary. I installed it in the new drivers side tank and it worked just fine. I bypassed the selector valve and got rid of the passenger side tank all together. Been running good ever since.

The reason I’m asking, because I got confused & frustrated, some eBay sellers, they say any unit can fit any side, one well know parts store gave no answer, the other store kept telling me about if the truck left hand steering wheel or/and right hand steering wheel, Can you pls link the spectra catalog here, thanks |

To share with you my findings on the 1987 GMC Sierra with 7.4L & TBI, fuel sending units.
The FG05M (driver side) and FG05N (passenger side) are correct sending units but they don’t come with fuel pumps. To have a complete sending units , SP05M15H (driver side) from Spectra SP05N1H (passenger side) |
Re: Fuel sending unit for 1987 GMC Sierra
I mentioned this in another thread, but the only difference on the Spectra units is the left side has longer output nipples than the right. This is because the right side has short lines from the fuel selector valve. That said, it's easy enough to use either one for either side by varying the length of the rubber connection hoses.
