Here is a strange one
 

Fuel pump went out on my 87 . 2.5 throttle body injection. Been working
6 day weeks. So i droped it off at a local shop i trust. Well they
called today and said i needed a Fuel sending unit ? Well after looking
in Haynes. It looks like its what the pump hooks to. Doesnt the sending
unit just work your gas gauge?
Hell it has never worked very well to start with. Just alway's keep it
full.
Some advice would be helpfull.
I feel stupid!

Re: Here is a strange one
 

The fuel pump and the sending unit for the fuel gauge are an integrated
assembly, that fits inside the fuel tank. It is probably called the
"sending unit" in the parts catalog. So when they say they need a "sending
unit", they mean "show us the money".

Re: Here is a strange one
 

As Earle noted, it is one unit when you pull it out.

It sounds like you need a 'pump package' P/N 8350 2994 which is not
included in the 'sending unit' P/N 8350 2990 There are some hookup
lines that appear to be included with both of the those part numbers.

Re: Here is a strange one
 

Thanks for the help . Found out you cant get them from the stealer ship
any more. They stoped makeing them. The company that is supposed to has
not started. So I have no idea where to find even a used sending unit.I
tried Collins in Californa. They rust out and thats the end. No place in
Michigan has any . I'm thinking of just using a fuel cell. Might be a
better bet.

I will check with my friend to see if his supplier has them. They have them

Is the actual problem the sending unit, or the fuel pump? External FI rated
fuel pumps are prone to problems, but in a case like this you might find it
a workable choice. Any of the vendors that sells FI add-on systems can
provide you with one. You are talking about a 1987 with the 2.5 and
throttle body injection. Can you swap in a tank, sender unit and fuel pump
from a newer model? I don't know the answer, but it is certainly worth
investigating. The later model YJ tanks hold 20 gallons.

The tanks have to be from 87-91. After that they went to fuel
injection. If i could find a tank that would work thats what i do. A 20
gallon tank would be nice. Well not to fill up.
