hi mr hanky,
yeah we got a fuel tank but the sender on it was different from the one we took off as they changed models of senders half way through the year of 1999 all the places that we have tried to get a sender from have the plug in sender unit we need the 4 wire unit that plugs in by the back seat of the car and they are almost impossible to get hold off just my luck hey hope that makes sense

I don't suppose you have a part number do you, I have a large workshop full to the rafters of nothing but Kia and Mitsubishi parts so it's possible that I have one.

Could you tell me, how many pin plug did your original one have,? and how many does the new one have.
And what year is your car

Are any of these like yours http://motors.shop.ebay.com/Parts-Accessories-/6028/i.html?_nkw=Kia+Sportage+Fuel+Sending+Unit

hi burger and chips
thanks for the link i have looked at all of them my sender unit is slightly different the white plug that is attatched to the unit mine is a wire in it with the pulg higher up so that it can be plugged in to another wire that flows through the back seat if that makes sense thanks

How many pins on plug does your original have, and how many does new one have

It may be possable to wire up the new one, I have done this myself on a punto in the past.
