    Fuel Tank Sending Unit 1978 E27

    I need to replace the sending unit on my 1978 E27. Has anyone done the same and have any advice on pitfalls to look out for. I'm also wondering if I need the exact part or if there are universal units. I'm hoping to get the part before removing the current unit. Thank you in advance, James
