Fleece SureFlo® Performance Sending Unit (FPE-SF-CUMM-9197) for 1991-1997 Cummins 5.9L

The Fleece SureFlo Performance Sending Unit FPE-SF-CUMM-9197 helps solve fuel delivery problems when running an external lift pump on a 1991-1997 Cummins 5.9L truck. Many aftermarket pumps mount external to the fuel tank. Because of this, installers often install a draw straw or drill the fuel tank to accommodate a sump. However, both options create drawbacks.

Problem

These setups commonly create the ¼ tank issue. When fuel levels drop, the pump may pull air into the fuel system. As a result, cavitation can occur and fuel delivery becomes inconsistent.

Fleece SureFlo Performance Sending Unit Solution

SureFlo performance sending units are designed to work with aftermarket lift pumps and fit directly into your stock sending unit location. The Fleece SureFlo Performance Sending Unit FPE-SF-CUMM-9197 also features factory style quick disconnects that adapt to the stock fuel lines at the tank. Because of this design, installation remains clean and requires no cutting or drilling of the tank.

SureFlo Bucket Fuel Delivery Design

SureFlo works by drawing fuel from, and returning fuel to, the bucket assembly at the base of the unit. Because of this design, the pump draws fuel instead of air. As a result, the system helps eliminate the common ¼ tank problem.

In addition, the SureFlo bucket incorporates one way check valves. These valves allow fuel to flow into the bucket more easily when fuel levels are low.

Additional SureFlo Sending Unit Benefits

Our SureFlo performance sending units are also a great alternative for trucks originally equipped without an in tank pump needing to repair a malfunctioning level sender. It also works well for trucks that want to run custom fuel lines directly to the tank.

Application Notes

IMPORTANT – Verify your existing MOPAR sending unit part number is listed in the table below. If your part number is not shown, then it is not verified to fit. Many trucks have been retrofitted over time to gasoline model tanks and the SureFlo will not fit into a retrofitted tank configuration. For Model Year 1998 trucks equipped with a 12 valve engine – your vehicle will require our 1998-2002 SureFlo (FPE-SF-CUMM-9802). These trucks would have been originally equipped with Carter sending unit part number 52102079AB.

You can also verify your proper part number by the resistance range of the level sender on your existing unit.

If your stock sending unit ranges between 6 – 113 ohms – use FPE-SF-CUMM-9198

If your stock sending unit ranges between 20 – 220 ohms – use FPE-SF-CUMM-9802

LOW FUEL LEVEL LAMP – This sending unit does NOT include provisions to illuminate the Low Fuel level dash lamp.

IMPORTANT – Verify your OE MOPAR part number in the cross-reference chart:
