Thanks for all the help about a month back.  I was trying to get my 86
syncro certified.  There was a gas leak at the tank and a leak at the fuel
pump.  Fuel pump was corroded so I found a used one, worked like a charm.

I had looked at the tank and the strap and sending unit and other things
looked pretty ripe, I didn't realize however that the tank was plastic -
duh.  The dealer neither.  They said that if they replaced the sending
unit, the tank may be too rusted to seal the new one to.  They checked a
price before they did any more work and it was listed at $2000 or $2500 or
something crazy like that.

Once I found out that it was plastic, I went back to the dealer and let him
know.  Sure enough, once they pulled back the fire blanket and took off the
sending unit they too realized it was plastic. . . sheepishly admitting so.

Anyway thanks again, $200 sending unit instead of $2000 tank.
Lots to learn about my new Syncro. . .
