Resurrecting this thread as I had the same issue with bad sender on my Suburban with this fuel tank. I talked to TriStar who can rebuild them, but the timeline and cost didn't float my boat I ended up buying a cheap universal sending unit, 0-90 ohm, and fitting it to my original sending unit with pick up tube. It went pretty well and cost about $25 bucks. Due to some funny geometry it may not be perfect, but it's getting the job done now. I also lucked out and the PO had already cut a nice access hole in the bed plywood for me. Score!
