Well you got three choices:

1. Replace both the fuel pump and sending unit as an assembly

2. Replace sending unit

3. Use the trip odometer in the dash and figure out you mpg and deal with it accordingly...

That depends on how good you consider yourself as a mechanic.. It was totally worth it for me. I paid someone to do it.. I did the fuel pump @ the same time just because that way I know and if the tank is already out then might as well do it.. so I paid like 900 CDN

it might be worth it to give it a try. i have a zr2 and the tank is right there in the back. i wouldnt think it would be too bad. just get a jack and put up underneath it and then lower it down with the jack. but who knows
