I bought one of their universal units. It was OK but a bit tight. To fit in the shallow tanks you have to shorten the float arm, a lot. It was so short it didn't want to fall or rise with the fuel level. I made my own float arm, put two floats on it (so it would rise) and a small fishing sinker (so it would fall) on the arm. That worked fine. When I found a good OEM unit on ebay and swapped them out the universal had 'broken in' and the arm moved freely.
