Yeah i might look into that. I think the pumps would be alright if it wasnt such a cluttered tight fit. With all the extra hoses and wires there is more to go wrong thats for sure.

I've had many issues when I installed my Dual Fuel Pumps. Everything is fixed now but if your not careful a couple things can go wrong.I know one sender can cause the gauge to read empty. I would make sure that the wires are all secured and the hoses are clamped REALLY hard I had 2 tubes blow off since the clamps wern't tight. The first picture would cause my gauge to read empty at a little under half a tank even though it never ran out of gas.

Look at the top picture I posted of the floater. Either you cracked yours like I did or the fuel lever sensor is losing contact. If it's cracked I had to buy a new pump andswapped the part you see inthe toppicturebut I think all you need to buy is the fuel level sensor, part # 9275. I bought a new pump swapped the whole part in picture #1 and it fixed my problem.

Well I pulled the fuel pumps back out and looked over everything again. None of the hoses were loose and all my wires were intact. I checked the fuel sensor and it wasnt cracked but it looked like it might not be making good contact. I fixed that and put it back in. I havent had any problems yet but have not driven the car enough lately to get my fuel low again. Hopefully its fixed. Thanks for everyones help.
