Nuts! I guess then my options are to install an extra tank in the bed or, as others are considering, to put a burb tank where the spare is now.
Thanks for saving me the time to r&r the tank to fix the sender. Good to know that the behaviour of my gauge is "normal".

Has anyone tried to replace their 26 with the 34? Is it just a bolt in? Is it worth the effort?
I'd like a bit more distance between fills. I've been thinking of dropping the tank to adjust the float on the sender: it reads full for a long time, then drops like a rock. Cleaning the sock...
I'd be interested to learn more about the fuel gauge and pressure sensor.
If it has an electrical sensor, then I would consider buying 2 sensors and 1 gauge. One for fuel pressure and one for boost. I'd just install a switch to toggle between the sensors. This way I can just replace my...
A couple more...
You could fabricate your own with a small piece of 1" angle iron. The pics show the bracket alongside a tape measure so that you can determine approx dimensions.
Hope this helps.
X2 what JiFaire said.
When the master speaks, its for us newbies to listen.:bow:
I've been listening since I bought mine this past spring. Learned a lot from these very experienced people. I'm working my way down the list. (exhaust, gauges) I was lucky, the PO installed the Heath remote...
I wasn't able to get a clear view of the port to take a picture. The park/neutral backup switch is in the way.
So, here's a drawing of the test port I was referring to.
The plug is 7/16".
Hope this helps.
Cheers.
3rd location option
Here's a 3rd location you might consider:
There's a test port in the chassis of the trans just above the linkages on the driver's side. (1/8" pipe IIRC) The same as the usual temp sensors.
I did it on mine. Easy to do. Just remove the plug and install the sensor...
