The 06 C&C that I am stripping has a sending unit on the front tank and a transfer pump that fills the front from the rear I haven't taken the flat bed off yet so I don't know if the rear has one but something controls the the tranfer pump so I am under the impression the rear has some sort of sending unit as well.

sandwich, il
its the level senser. there is a part number floating around on a forum some where. its not listed at the dealer, but if you have the pn, it should be fine
