I am looking for a fuel sending unit. I want to get the right one. The picture is of the one I removed from the current tank. If you look at the pics you can see that the depth is 10 1/2 inches. From what I have read that the depths are 10 3/4 for a 25 gallon tank and 12 3/4 for a 31 gallon tank. So what size tank do I have and what size sending unit do I get???? Thanks John

I would think the 10 3/4 since you measure 10 1/2. Only 1/4" difference which is not a lot. The sock could probably make that difference. Definitely do not need the 12 3/4. If you can buy one local, take yours with you to be sure.
