| Subject: | Re: Busted fuel sender? |
I attached a photo of the sender unit. The wire that goes to the potentiometer
is attached to the body, not the other end of the nutsert. I would suspect that
at best, you may notice a leak. I would think it would be extremely difficult
to rotate the entire internal sending unit assembly without noticing or hearing
it. More that likely you just rotated the nutsert. As to removing the
screw, I suspect that you may have to pull the sending unit. If you do that,
I suggest you replace it after doing all the work to remove it, and the chance
that it may leak round the nutsert.

Just a thought....not sure whether one can remove the sending unit with the
wing in its attached position. Did all my manipulating of the sending units
prior to installing wings.
Of course, I "assume" one could "just" remove the fuel tank to have ease of
working with replacement, getting all the bends done correctly to the arm.
I also suspect that while the existing sender may not leak, it probably has
a broken electrical connection that will result in full scale deflection of
fuel gauge.

Use the wire from the old sending unit.
