Hi,

This vehicle won't have a sensor. The Fuel System is a return-less on-demand design. The fuel pressure regulator is a part of the fuel sender assembly, eliminating the need for a return pipe from the engine. A return-less fuel system reduces the internal temperature of the fuel tank by not returning hot fuel from the engine to the fuel tank.

Let me know if this helps or if you have other questions.

Take care,

joe
