Fuel tank sending unit

Guys,
Here's the update...long over due....on the Drake fuel tank
sending unit.
Drake refunded my money....yep the refund showed up on
the credit card. I got that goin' for me, I do wish instead of a refund
their tech guys would have come up with a solution to make these
senders work.
Everybody sells these things and I sure know I am far from
the only one who had trouble with it not reading anywhere near correct.

Charlie... what car are you hooking up the sending unit on , I have a 34 Ford and need a sending unit and the red Dye for the guage where is the best place to get one of these kits ?, tks .. Al .:)
 
Charlie, drove my 41 pickup over weekend, just can tell from gauge that something is present in tank, that's all, talked to the supplier in Texas and it does cost $200.00 from him for a new old stock ( Vintage Ford I believe ) told that I could make an adapter for the new Bob Drake Tank, will have to wait to make this purchase. Thanks for your information, Bruce
 
I was never able to get an original sending unit into my &$!@# BD tank. Hole in tank is too small for stock sending unit. Save your $200.00
 
I was able to make an adapter, to use my original sending unit in a BD tank, on my '34.
The problem is, I can only access ten gallons now. The unit sits higher and doesn't reach the last four gallons. I have run "out of gas", thinking I had more, until I figured it out.
