    Excellent video! I believe this is probably the main reason most of us are having issues with these after market pumps. It actually makes a lot of sense because the flat arm angle is so flimsy I doubt if they are keeping the tolerances in production. Thanks for doing this video 👌🏽

    I need your help desperately. I have a 1998 honda crv. Lately the low fuel light stopped working. However my gauge works fine and my pump works fine. Because my cars pump and fuel sending unit is together in one assembly the mechanics tell me to replace the entire assembly. Problem is we can not find one anymore. Can this low fuel light be fixed without a new assembly? If i leave it the way it is will the non working fuel light make my pump go bad ?

    I think this would happen of you put the wire in from the opposite side. Unscrew it and put it in the other way and see what happens.

    when you have a custom build you have to sometimes modify the rod for it to read accurate.
