My Vehicle: 1985 CUCV M1009
I’m fairly certain the gas tank is the stock/original size (that’s a 25 gallon right?)
My Fuel Gauge has started to occasionally stop working. I checked the fuses, etc. From what I understand it can often be a bad connection at the fuel gauge in the dash end or at the other end, a Bad Sending Unit.
I recently cleaned and rebuilt much of my Dashboard/Instrument Bezel. This included installing a new circuit at the rear of the instrument bezel. I’m hoping the eliminates the Fuel Gauge/Dashboard end in this problem.
If the Fuel Tank Sending Unit has gone bad, it would need replaced. When searching for parts on LMCs website, I found 2 types of sending units: 3 outlets or 4 outlets.
If I’m reading the product description correctly (LMC Part 32-5944), there’s only 1 model that applies, which is a 4 outlet. I may very well be wrong.

I looked under my vehicle at the sending unit. As expected it’s a bit dirty and I’m not entirely sure how many outlets there are. I also started thinking, will I damage anything if I hit that area with a hose/water?
I’ll ask the obvious simple question: is there only one type for my particular vehicle? Or did they come in two types of outlets on my particular vehicle? I also noticed the product description doesn’t mention diesel fuel. Does that at all matter?
Thanks in advance for any input or advice. I currently have the CUCV at the shop and am thinking maybe the Fuel Sending Unit can get replaced while it’s still there.
