Fuel Level Sending Unit replacement and Fuel hose sizes 200 1985

Guys

About a year ago I replaced my intank fuel pump in my 85' 240. I have made up a special key for removing the retaining ring but it is just a pain trying to remove these old hoses. Anyways, last time I replaced the Intank pump unit it seems that the fuel sending sensor got out of range and as a result when I fill the gas tank full the fuel level drops all the way to 0(out of range) after a couple of miles on the full tank the fuel sender returns to normal full levels and then it drops at 3/4 of the tank(gap). I was thinking that I might go ahead and replace the fuel hoses that get to the fuel tank. They have become quite old and hardened. It will also be a good opportunity to replace the fuel sending unit with either a junkyard unit or with a new unit.

Since a new unit cost from $100-130 I was thinking of going for a used junkyard unit.

Can I use a sending units from 240 up to 1993?


In addition what are the hose sizes I need to replace?

Any other ideas?

Thanks

Michael

I think finding a good used junk yard sending unit is going to be about as hard as finding a good rear bumper. They both have corrosion issues. The sending unit due to cool gas causing condensation on warm days. At my local yard the gas tanks are pulled for enviromental reasons. I bought one new sending unit on EBAY for $50 and another from FCP for $95.
