Re: Dont use a droplight when working on a fuel tank!!

Don't use a vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt away from the sending unit before you remove it either. I found out the hard way. It sucked the gas fumes out of the tank and the vacuum cleaner went KABOOM! It blew into five different pieces and flew twentyfive feet in the air. I put the vacuum cleaner back together and put it back in the wifes closet without saying anything. The next time the wife used it she thanked me for fixing it. She said it works twice as powerful now.
