    fuel level sender/ other fuel tank questions

    Hey--

    Fixing my fuel gauge soon. But aside from my recent issue, it's always read high, and, the fuel sending unit --while it works-- has about 20-30ohms more resistance than it should across the spectrum, which would perfectly explain why it always read high.

    I have never dropped my fuel tank before; I'm not quite sure how it's laid out. Are the pump and sending unit built together?

    A teacher told me that there's a "pigtail" of fuel line that likes to fail; is that a line right off the top of the fuel tank, and would it be invisible until the tank is dropped?
    The pump is original; is this something worth replacing preemptively? Or can they last forever; not necessarily a maintenance item? (car is 20yrs old, doubt the pump has been done).
    The pump does not make noise however.

    Finally, found this on napa for a 1990 grand marquis, is this the pump and sending unit built together (it's the reason why I asked that question a paragraph ago), does it look correct? although, the image may be generic.
Working...
