Default Oversized fuel tank

IMS $326 . Cheapo Chinese tank $149. Try to avoid Chinese anything but has anyone tried them?

Mine came from Keng Engines in Thailand. Possibly the same item. Fitted it with the 330 kit to cover extra fuel consumption. Havn't done enough hours to rate it long term but no issues with it yet.

Default fuel level sensor

Is the fuel level sensor a part of the fuel pump assembly? If so, then the level sensor should work with the IMS or Chinese equivalent 2.7 gal tank.

Thanks Olderider, I bit the bullet and placed an order for the larger tank, especially after learning that the low level fuel light sender is integral with the fuel pump.
