My BJ7 fuel sender, which is the original, has the screw terminal to
the back of the car and the float towards the front, which is
exactly the way that Rich Chrysler said.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">All: does anyone know if the fuel tank
sending unit for a BJ-8 that is being sold today has changed
from what was original?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">After being stranded on the road having run
out of gas while the gauge read ¼ full, I purchased a new unit
from Moss Motors. After installing the unit, it didn’t seem
to correspond with what I thought was in the tank. I pumped
the tank out, and it still reads ¼ full!<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thinking I had maybe installed it in the
wrong orientation, I found the following quote from Rich
Chrysler. Being from Rich, I am assuming it is correct:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New""><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">The
fuel sender is fitted with the screw terminal toward the
back of the <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">car,
placing the float forward to the deepest and closest point
to the pick <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Courier New"">up
tube.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Reading the above, it would follow that the
sending unit would have the terminal at one end and the
pick-up arm at the other. Problem is, this unit has them both
on the same end. And, yes – I could just turn it around so
that the float is in the front, but that isn’t solving the
problem. It does read closer to empty, but not completely.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">This all raises the question: are these
units being made differently now, or did I get the wrong unit
shipped to me? See picture attached for an example of what I
received. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks in advance,<o:p></o:p></p>
