Is this what controls the fuel guage on your dash?

I need to put in a new fuel pump as it is and I figured a new sending unit inside the tank will fix my fuel guage.


One more question:
If you upgrade to a 255lph pump from the stock 90lph or w/e it is...do you have to put in a new aftermarket fuel pressure regulator?

I put one on at the same time I bought my new fuel pump(old one went out), and when I went broke for a while I thought "man If i didn't spend $100 on my FPR, I could have $100 right now!!"

hard times...

Realistcally all it needs is a pump and a sending unit. Foxes come with a stock regulator which cannot be a adjusting so throwing on a bigger pump will still only allow the same amount.

I'd do at a another time: H/C/I time [patriot]
