TexasSubie Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 So I bought my first Subaru last year, a 1985 Brat, out of a field. So far I have dropped the fuel tank and had it acid dipped then resealed at a shop a few miles south of me. The tank of was full of rust and old nasty gas that had started to turn solid. The only problem is the Fuel Meter Sending Unit was completely corroded up, so when I pulled the nuts and pulled it out she broke into multiple pieces. So the project has been put on hold until as of late. I was wondering since all avenues of finding a direct replacement part are leading to the word DISCONTINUED, is there another way to go? Such as running a unit out of another model or is there a universal replacement that I can get. All input and advice is much appreciated at this point.

skishop69 Posted October 14, 2017 Share Posted October 14, 2017 Any EA81 sending unit for an analog cluster will work. Save finding a good used one, you'll have to get a universal one with the same ohm readings and make it work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jono Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 What he said above. I find using the trip meter also helps says the fella who uses an led reader and last week found that once the red bar showed all he got was another 500 meters Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasSubie Posted November 12, 2017 Author Share Posted November 12, 2017 Would anyone happen to know the part numbers for the units that could work? Or the ohm range to look for? I have a local Subaru dealer that is willing to look if I can come up with a part number. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
