Re: fuel level broke in peices?

That's going to be one of those parts that is only sold as an assembly - probably gonna have to bite the bullet and buy entire thing - unless local JY has parts you can scrounge - but usually they remove or destroy the fuel tanks as a safety measure.

Hawks has used ones that will save you about $60 over a brand new unit from parts store (Autozone sells for $189).
