Default fuel tank sender help

Hi all

Took my wrx 2002 into the garage today as the fuel gauge isnt moving at all , its totally stuck on empty. Checked all fuses and seem to be fine.

The garage thinks i need a new tank sender unit...

I seen this on ebay but have no idea if it will fit?

Any ideas folks?

Thanks very much in advance

anyone?

Do you think it might be the gauge that is stuck? when i bought the car the petrol light was on so i filled up straight away with 30 pound but still it didnt move one little bit... surely if its the sender the petrol light wouldnt come on? or would it?

its baffling me now i just want to get it sorted

Yep sounds like the sender/ float has had it. If the sender is telling the dashboard theres no fuel then yes the light will come on
