Fuel level sender, recalibrate or replace?

[arew~SX230]

My gas gauge is currently useless, due to ethanol, and its increased capacitance. I could recalibrate it and hope for stable ethanol levels in my area, and have to recalibrate if they change. Or replace it with either a float type sender or a new self calibrating capacitance sender. I am leaning towards replacement, and would like to know which one to get, they seem to be within $20 of each other so price is not really a concern, care more about accuracy and reliability.

Thanks in advance,
Andy

Hi Andy
@waterboy did alot of homework on this with positive results: The story is here: https://jetboaters.net/threads/my-ongoing-fuel-sender-saga-good-news-replacing-fuel-sender.4320/

I tried to calibrate mine but it was to "Hit and miss" to feel comfortable. I just ordered a new one today that has received a couple good reviews from members,
it was in our FAQ section

let us know what you do,

What type does Yamaha install in the newer boats? Did they ever make an official recommendation in a service bulletin or something?
