+1 on these. Also, I'd like to see some information on fuel gauge function. I've held off on buying the other fuel sender because I knew the behavior of the system would drive me crazy whenever I noticed it switch between fuel level switches, and because of the reports of bizarre inaccuracies in the sender.Originally Posted by DMC5180
Even though my pump works just fine I might just suck it up and buy this if the gauge works well. It looks like the float is a much better design, at least.

Works for me too... Going to go ahead and imbed the picture into the post. -Mike
On a personal note, I am VERY excited about this product. Even though I am running a brand new pump setup, I have worries and want a modern setup. This makes me happy. Good job DMC team!

At this past weekends DMA event James talked about the fuel gauge part of the unit. He said there is a 115 second delay (something like that) in the signal being sent to change the gauge. This way if you are accelerating, turning hard, or on a hill, the gauge will not fluctuate until that level is held for almost two min. He also said the low-fuel light works and comes on with 1 or 1.5 gallons left in the tank (I forget exactly).
The pump within the unit is also common and can be replaced as needed too.

Very nice, considering the price of a pump, baffle, sender, boot and hoses it's a real deal!
eBay selling at it's best I can tell you stock Delorians and quite a bit of slugs so the Turbo is a super nice up-grade.

Is this 100% plug-n-play, or does it require an external logic box for the sending unit like TankZilla did?

This unit has an external logic box that controls the signal to the gauge.

The pump that comes with this unit has been developed for DMC to run at the required pressures for the K-Jetronic. A separate pump may be made available later for the EFI guys.

If it can run at K jet pressures then it will run an EFI set up no problem. We do not swap out pumps on EFI conversions and actually dump a lot more into the return system due to our rail pressures only being 41psi +-.
