That shows how much markup there is on some of this stuff. Napa quoted me $2.29 for the switch with the idiot light, and the gauge sender was quoted at $14.00. I didn't ask about the pump shutoff sender. Of course, the fact that the company I work for is probably Napa's biggest commercial customer (read deep discounts) probably helps the above price.
