I just bought this car and the fuel gauge reads zero most of the time as well as the low fuel light in the console. When you completely fill the car, it reads full for a couple of gallons then drops to zero again. I'm thinking it's the fuel sending unit since both the gauge and low fuel light are affected, but I'm unsure about what to order. The sending units I'm finding on line say they are not compatible with the CFI because they have an electric fuel pump. Does that mean the sending unit is in the pump? What is the correct part to order and replace? Thanks.

That does sound like the sending unit, the same thing happened to me. When i took the old one apart almost all the contacts were scratched off. Mustangs Unlimited sells the sending unit you need, their site is not working for me right now but i did find one that they listed on ebay. eBay CFI fuel Sending Unit

The ebay auction link was dead, but I did find it on Mustangsunlimited. Thanks a lot for taking the time.
