Fuel tank sending unit.

Can someone give me a heads up as to where I can get a decent sending unit and the tool to remove it for my 68 300. This my next issue, ive got to remove my tank and have it cleaned or replace it.

I believe the wrenches and seals can be purchased by the same people who sell the new tanks? Spectra Premium might be a good place to start. Then put their part number into Google to see if anybody else might have it.

Im not sure if I will replace my tank or not. I found a place in houston that will split my tank, clean reseal and recoat for about $600 but nearly 6 week wait. Mine is pretty rust pitted inside. I have read sometimes after markets dont always fit right,

Gas Tank Renew. Used to be about $500.00 10 years ago. Good reviews from people I know who used them. Came back looking like new OEM tanks.

If you really want to save some money, look up the price for a '69 B-body tank (with the rear fill location). From another poster in here, can use the existing C-body straps and filler neck. Just less total capacity (like 19 gallons vs 24 gallons). Quite interesting how close the two tanks are in size, plus the price difference.

Enjoy!

I believe that is who I contacted. The shipping is another concern unless I just drive down and hand deliver it! Not all that far from where I live. Im trying to keep everything as original as I can with this car.

Save the original gas tank ring the new ones are to thin and will not seal right.

Thanks for that heads up!
