    fuel sending unit

    Mine is stuck. Has anyone had luck using some sort of cleaner to free it up? I was thinking like carb cleaner or something similar. I hope i dont have to buy new one.

    i took it out and it was really stuck. I sprayed carb/throttlebody cleaner in and managed to get it moving freely. Time will tell if this will fix it temp or perm.

    Let's hope so as a new one is over $200. In which case I would get one from a salvage yard.
