I got the one for our 5C from Luke. It folds in the middle and has 2 wires of which 1 is ground. It works well. First time I have known how much fuel I had other than the Romex I stuck in the tank for measurement. If you get that one you have to go very slowly into the tank with it and turn it sideways to get it in or the float will catch on the baffle ( don't ask how I know). :o Once past that you can turn it back and it will slide right in.

MCI supplies parts for Dina buses.  My fuel gauge didn't work because the sender was all rusty.  I ordered a new sender from MCI using the number in the parts book.  What they sent me was a generic fuel sender that had to be customized for my tank.  I didn't want to deal with trying to figure out the right settings and just ordered a Centroid sender instead.

I still have the generic fuel sender new in the box and would happy to give it to someone for the cost of shipping.
