Im calling it the sender assembly for the fuel tank, but im not comming up with anything. I need to replace it, but I cant find any parts stores that sell a 'sender assembly'. It has 4 gas lines, 1 to the engine, 1 return, 1 vent, 1 vapor, the sender unit is connected to it, and the fuel pump is connected to it, it goes in the the hole at the top of the tank. Is it called something else? or am i not looking in the the right places? or aggh, im just frusterated...

For GM it is called a sender assembly. Maybe now it is called a fuel pump module sender assembly. A competent parts person should be able to find it. Try another parts house would be my suggestion.

Yes, I know some very competent GM parts people. What year and model sender are you looking for?

What's bad is I bet every one here knows exactly what you are talking about but don't know the technical term. Dang shame no parts guy is smart enough to figure it out.

Nothing complicated about it. If the parts store does not know what you are trying to tell them, then he does not need the sale.

Just tell any competent parts man that you want a fuel gauge sending unit.

The whole unit may not be available after market. I think you will need to go to a dealer or junkyard.

Take the old one out and show it to the counter person at your local NAPA store/I am in no way affiliated with NAPA/disclaimer. Some of their books actually have pictures to match up the parts to.

If you are dealing with a parts house that can't, with a few checks with his reference materials or a quick call to their company tech support, tell you if they can provide the part, it's time to leave and find a different parts house. Just for fun, ask them if they can order a set of muffler bearings for the same car before you leave!
fwiw, a fuel tank sending unit / assembly could very well be a dealer only item. Some Ford and Mazda vehicles use an assembly which includes the sender, pump and sock. The pump only is available aftermarket so if you need only the sending unit and float, the dealer nails you for the pump too, big $$.

I have to wonder why you think it needs replaced. I mean if you don't even know what it is called then it seems doubtful you would know how to ohm it out.

If it is a GM product, go to an authorized AC Delco dealer. Most will have it in stock if it is not too old.

Pump

GM calls it a Fuel Pump Module assembly, so does Advance, Auto -Zone. Parts manager at Advance just told me $225 to $340 just depends on application.
