    How does everyone who purchased their new Integrated Fuel Pump/Sender units like them??

    So far so good?

    new pump sender combo

    I have this unit in 03513 for over a year and since I do not hear it or have trouble with it, i think it is great. This is a Delorean and anything that does not cause trouble------ is great.

    I've driven about 500mi. With my upgrade and have had 0 problems. Low fuel light comes on when its supposed to. very accurate! One of the best upgrades I've purchased for my car.

    Here's a quandary for everyone that's right on par with this thread. My car had a BRAND new fuel pump installed in 2010, since then, the car went about 1500 miles. The tank was also professionally cleaned down in Garden Grove, Ca and new rubber throughout.

    This is a "what would you do?" situation. Fuel pump works great. My fuel sender unit has given out. I read 1/4 tank when totally full, and I've tested my gauge. I know its the sender. I'm going to be spending $150 on a new sender. for an extra $250, do I get the combo, and put my fuel pump on the shelf justincase?

    Is the 110085A Fuel pump (mine that was installed in 2010) good enough, and the sender unit is good enough, and I shouldn't spend the $$? Orrrrrr...

    The stand alone DMC fuel senders that are for sale work, but not perfectly. They display about a 1/4 less than what you have. When full it shows 3/4 and when at 1/4, it shows empty. I have one that I only used for a couple hundred miles over the course of 2 months, I'll sell it to you for half of what Houston charges (plus shipping) if you are interested. It bothered me that it read low, so I had my OEM sender rebuilt by Hervey and haven't had trouble since.

    As for the fuel pumps, the stand alone pumps DMC sells are solid. I have one in my car for 5 years and have had zero problems with it.

    I'm chiming in on this with a different view point. This like everything in the past is a band aid for a poor original design. It's time to think outside of the box and replace the complete fuel cell and pump configuration entirely.

    I'm in a similar boat. I promised myself the next time anything went wrong with my pump setup I would just replace the whole thing with this new kit. But now I'm faced with actually doing it and find myself hesitating to drop $400 when all I really need is a new boot cover, some fuel hose and to shut up and accept the crappiness of the "improved" Houston sender. Still haven't made up my mind.

    If there was ever a contest for the post that most needed a "Stay tuned..." at the end, this would be a contender.
