    My fuel tank is bigger than the stock under seat tank. PO used the old sending unit when he put the bigger rear tank in. So basically I only get half a tank out of it. Is there a type of fuel line that will hold up to being submerged in fuel? Just to add length to the sending unit. I only use NON ETHINOL fuel!!!! Just curious! The sending unit work fine but would like to utilize the whole tank! Thanks

    Metal is the only thing I can think of that you could count on staying straight and always keeping the intake near the bottom. Can you somehow extend it with that? Maybe with a compression fitting to connect it together? If you extend it of course cut the end at an angle.
