diagnosed? to determine it is bad? or taken it apart to repair it.
Short the 2 wires out on the sender and see if the gauge pegs out full. Gauge should show a little low though no matter what. Mine shows empty and i have about 14 gallons left.

I am asking if someone has taken one apart to repair it. Diagnosing whether it is bad is easy.

why not the right part? looks right to me. I am going to try to repair mine but the fuel tank is full and apparently the tank most be moved to get it out.

I could imagine that the sender units pipe is too long to just pull up and out.
the sending unit in the link has a different top. Plus i dont want to modify the wiring. I like plug and play

I bought a spare OEM one from Suprman. Maybe he still has one.

I think he owns a LMTV. It's different than a 939 series.

Ran it dry 100ft from the gas station, walked it, filled a jerry can, walked it back, put the diesel in, started right up. No problems.
WOW, that is impressive
good on you

The "problem" that day is, you know how it kind of bounces around between 1/8th positions, well it was bouncing between E and 1/8th or whatever and I lost track of how long it was doing that. So then it just said E and turned off... of course if you fill it at 1/8th you're leaving a lot in the pot. So now I just try to carry a jerry can around or two. I'd like to weld up some brackets or something to get them under the bed, unimog style. Fuel totalizer wouldn't hurt my feelings either.
