RE: JPOR: left turn, stall

["BRERETON, John" <John_BRERETON@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

To check the accuracy of the sending unit, fill up the tank and set the trip
odometer to 0.  Then when it reads 3/4 full, fill it up again and calculate
the mileage you are getting.  Reset the trip odometer and drive until it
reads 1/2 full.  Then fill up the tank and recalculate the mileage.  If the
results of the mileage seem to be very off, it is probably the sending unit.

****************Please Remember to snip your replies***************
I pulled the tank on my '88 wrangler, because it was stalling whenever
the gas tank got near 1/2 empty.  It was missing the fuel strainer on
the sending unit, so I found a generic replacement.  Now the Jeep only
stalls near 1/4 of a tank of gas, on a left turn.  My question is: is
this a design flaw in the tank and sending unit, or will a replacement
of the sending unit fix this problem?  I don't want to replace the
sending unit if that is not the problem, and also because a new one is
$150!

Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin
