So, I've had issues with the last two units that I bought from BJs. First, was an '80 Cherokee and the replacement unit with the sock was still 3" from the bottom of the tank. This leads to it sucking air once the level drops to 1/4 of a tank. Second, was my '87 J20. This unit was too low or at the wrong angle. After installing the Lift/sender, the sock kinked from contact of the floor of the tank causing fuel starvation. In both cases, I had to added approximately 4" of rubber hose to extend the sock to a horizontal position on the floor of the tank. Is this a common issue with the latest replacements? Has anyone else seen this? Ive replaced 5 or more senders from BJs in the past and never had a problem--BJs is the best supplier of FSJ parts. IMO
Yes, I used E85 rated hose that wont dissolve in the tank
