Fuel sending unit disconnect. Need some help here

All,

I am trying to replace the sending unit in my in cab tank. The truck is a 69. I cannot seem to loosen the fittings on the gas line. Anything I am doing wrong. How do I get the damn unit out if I cannot but the fuel line free from the unit itself?

Well problem solved. Decided to switch the new float with the old one and re install the old unit. Viola.... Working fuel gauge. I feel like I am talking to myself.

Good job. Good thinking on your part also and saved the return fee on the wrong part.


Yea sometimes it just takes a while to get any replies.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.

I am sure it did not help that it was late. Sometimes I post just to talk myself through a problem online!
