Well it is Thursday and still have not had time to replace the tank fuel float and it looks like I may not get to it until mid next week. I am so sorry I put you off, I had all intentions of getting it done as promised and posting the results if I am correct and all went well. I am up to my elbows trying to get things done at the new house. I had no idea that our to-do list was that detailed.

Looking at the new float and seeing it is a potentiometer I see how it could fail. I think with the number of fill-ups and bouncing around in the tank it would take a lot of abuse over time. This is my new float and I would not know if my theory is correct until I remove the old one. I made a few tests on the system to verify that my problem was not anything other than the float.

However, the sticker on that tank indicates that it's actually a 2001 XKR. Also, that it is a ROW (non US) unit.
My 2000 XKR Coupe does have the Sending Unit on the Rear of the Tank but i think that the 2001 and up cars have it in the Tank Top Assembly.
My Sending Unit is intermittent and I have a new Sender to install as soon as the Fuel Level is low enough.

Thank you Paul. I could be wrong on this but I was not sure if we were having a communication problem with him or me. If you are correct and I think you are he will know the moment he pulls the cover and it is not there. The subtle changes between cars at time can confuse me but I get confused easily.
