Re: Suburban extended fuel tank sending unit
I have the same fuel tank in my Suburban. Original sending unit was not fixable. Lots of research, and unable to find a replacement in right ohm category that also had a fuel line pickup tube. Lots of options for sending unit alone that fit with the required mounting holes and screw placements (see marine suppliers as well as automotive). Bottom line. I bought a universal fit for the sending unit alone and fabricated a separate 1/4 inch fuel pick-up tube.
My tank was still in use and mounted when I did this. Was careful when drilling hole for pickup tube to capture all the filings underneath with a small cloth "net" I made with a coat hanger frame... then also dragged bottom of tank with a magnet on a coat hanger to pickup a few smaller metal filings. You can see in tank with a small flashlight. HA!!
Could get more specific if you wish.
