how to repair the 1988-1990 TBI fuel snding unit [ saggy er broken nipples ] by Squads 51

After careful consideration of the various options presented both on here and a few long distance calls....and I thank you all for your thoughts on this problem....I give you all the results:

Pic #1....removed the bed

Pic #2....source of fuel leakage, old hoses and broken fitting

Pic #3....closer view

Pic #4....pump/sending unit out of tank and draining residual gas

Pic #5....another unit I got from Leon, unfortunately the fittings had been cut off at the locking ridge,
so I used it as a "practice" piece....

Pic #6....unit dis-assembled

Pic #7....hole drilled out same diameter as new fitting

pic # 7 1/2 these are the new parts store bought lines [ they need to be cut to length ]

Pic #8....new fitting installed and re-assembled

Pic #9....side view of unit

Pic #10....JBWeld used to fill/close any gaps between fitting and plastic top

Pic #11....boot/sleeve that unit sits in at bottom of tank

Pic #12....finished product re-installed in tank

Now to put the bed back on....or hold off for a little bit and see if another, more heavy duty one, shows up in the yard....

this is from Dcrusher as an update to whats above

Well with help from DodgeBoy and others I figured out how to fix snapped off supply and return line nipples so here the scoop on the whole process don’t panic it’s real easy just take it slow and you’ll be good.
You have to buy a couple of lines from Autozone and adapted them to work

you have to drill out the hole to be bigger BUT take your time you want a snug fit around the tubing. Once your done the return line was tight BUT the supply line I could still push up of down so I’ll put some JB Weld around both of them just to secure but it should be go to go.
