[Clumsy]

My battery went bad in 06 X5, has 245,000 miles ,replaced with new one and now only turns over but won't start. Fuel pump has 10 something volts to it. It ha been replaced before I owned it, it doesn't have the factory hose clamp. Tried to take out sender unit but broke it in a few places. It has original hose clamp on top and trying to get it off, broke nipple off. Then pulling up sender unit trying to unhook parts, i broke them. Can the vehicle still run without a sender unit?
