Before you buy a new one, one more question: Is it when you
do a certain turn that the fuel gage drops? Because this is
pretty common on old Hondas. Lots of complaints about it
come up at the great site www.honda-tech.com .

To buy the part new, consider the following:
www.slhondaparts.com , California
www.bkhondaparts.com , Illinois
www.hondaautomotiveparts.com , Rhode Island

Note differences in shipping/handling charges. Before adding
s/h, the part will run you around $95 at these sites.
Remember also that increasingly local Honda dealers sell at
internet prices. I learned my local Honda dealer had an
online parts site and now regularly go in with a printout
from its site for a part. They happily honor the internet
price as long as I have the printout. I save on s/h, but I
pay local sales tax and the time it takes to have the part
in hand.

Other options are ebay.com (buy only OEM), where it looks
like wrecking yard fuel sending units are available for
under $100. E.g. for $38 total consider
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/1994-...Q5fAccessories

From bkhondaparts.com, typing in the part number shows the
same FSU is used on the 94 and 95 Accord.

FSUs are pretty tough. I would consider a wrecking yard one,
especially at yards that have a return policy for 30 days.
So if you do not like the one you get, you can trade it for
another.

I pulled the FSU on my 93 Civic DX without too much
difficulty a few months ago. My 93 Civic tends to read empty
with about 3 gallons of gas in it, so I was thinking of
replacing it. I do have one from a wrecking yard but after
doing resistance tests (per the manul) on both, I am not
sure that the new used one will make all that much a
difference.
