Re: Help a NOOB - A continuing saga

The part I thought I would get last (the tank) showed up first. But everything eventually arrived today. Just installed the sending unit in the tank. Old tank still needs to be removed and cab cleaned up, but it looks like I might be rained out all night. (Truck is in driveway).

I got three o-rings, so if anyone wants one, let me know, I have two extra. Got one with tank, one with sending unit, and one with new clamp collar I bought.

Also have an extra clamp collar if anyone needs, one came with tank.

Right or wrong I bent the sending unit fuel tube slightly. It was pressing hard against tank when positioned, which I thought would be the "wrong" direction to keep it sealed against the o-ring. Not much, just a tweak.

Tried to shine up the old paint the last few nights, while waiting for parts. I think the bug shield is going to have to go. But that truck had it forever...
