fuel pick up
 

how do you take the fuel pickup outta the tank

Re: fuel pick up
 

Your asking about the sending unit and float??? There is a lock ring that you turn counter clockwise, hit it with a flathead and a hammer. That retaining ring will pop out.

There is a ring that is around the sender body. Use a brass punch or something that will NOT produce a spark and tap the ring away from the stops. Then remove it all as an assembly.

does it matter if i have a half tank gas still in?

Re: fuel pick up
 

just tryin to see if its plugged

Re: fuel pick up
 

no you can still take the sending unit and float out, if you plan on pulling the whole tank out its easier if its not so full but can still be done.

heres a pic of the ring you need to turn, i just use a flathead screwdriver.

there's an oring in there that seals it// good idea to replace it when reinstalling sender

They also sell a special tool to remove the ring; it becomes very useful when you want to retighten the sending unit lock ring.
