You should be able to by both items independently or as a combined unit, check major after market retailers

Hello, thanks for your reply. My mechanic insists that i have to purhase this part with the fuel pump, is this true or can i just buy the fuel sending unit which can be connected to the original fuel pump, as only this part is deffective leaking not the fuel pump? thanks for your help.
