Sending unit is bad, sending unit , I would advise replacing sending unit and fuel pump together.--- even though fuel pump is still working , it is old. and could go out ! and you only want to the job 1 time. I guess you know these parts are in the fuel tank? the new strainer will come with new fuel pump. some cars also have a external fuel filter under the car body, you do NOT want a dirty fuel filter with a new fuel pump, it is a big job pulling the fuel tank out of cars. do your research before starting the job. very few cars have a panel where you can get the fuel pump out of the car , without taking the fuel tank out of the car, and yes you do have to take the fuel pump out to replace the sending unit, which sends the signal to your fuel gage. a word of advice let your fuel tank be almost empty, you do not want to lift a lot of gas as it weighs around 8 pounds a gallon, again do your research before you start this job. NOTE , reset your trip indicater to keep track of the miles you drive so you do not run out of gas. until you get parts replaced GOOD LUCK. Tom
