I just replaced the fuel pump/filter/sender on my daughter's Kia Soul. The gauge sender is on the side, and looks like if it can be made to fit the GMC insert in the tank, its swing will be just about what's needed. When I get around to mine I'll put up some pics. This for a 2010 to 213 Kia Soul and some other Kias of that vintage. Also if someone needs a good used but working pump/filter/ass'y for a Kia let me know. Be aware, it's worked for 180K miles, no idea how many more are there.

I could test fit it to my extra OEM tank if you would like.

Johnny,
I looked up the specs under a 2012 Kia Soul 2.0L.

One replacement showed the sender resistance as 200-8 ohms so that will mess with the gauge readings. I'm not sure if there are modules that can adapt various senders and gauge resistances.

Also its for fuel injection so the fuel pressure is in the 70PSI range. It would need a pressure regulator to bring that way down for the Q-jet.

Rockauto also suggests to keep fuel levels above 1/4 tank level for pump cooling. I've never seen that recommendation before, but makes sense.

I wouldn't use the pump on a gmc, just the sender. And although you could pad it to make 90 ohms it wouldn't track. Another good idea down the tubes Sad
