KR>fuel senders and gauges?

Has anybody had good luck with fuel senders and gauges? If so, what brand, part number, etc? I've been through several iterations, and almost all failed way earlier when they should have. Even the "low fuel" senders which simply tell if there's fuel or not don't seem to last very long. If I
