Title: Fuel Sender Removal Post by: tp.mc on October 14, 2015, 01:13:48 AM Howdy All,
As you can see, I have a fuel leak at the join between tank and sender. Other posts suggest this is nothing more than a gasket that needs replacing. Those other posts showed senders that were simply screwed in but as you can see, mine has no screws. So my question is: HOW DO I REMOVE THE SENDER TO REPLACE THE GASKET (http://) Title: Re: Fuel Sender Removal Post by: Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius on October 14, 2015, 09:05:12 AM We can't see anything actually.
If there are no screws the sender should just come out, someone may have used an adhesive in place of screws though, making the task all the more difficult. Title: Re: Fuel Sender Removal Post by: tp.mc on October 14, 2015, 08:23:00 PM (http://s28.postimg.org/vdnkway8t/20151013_175431.jpg).
I guess attaching the photo would help huh ... Title: Re: Fuel Sender Removal Post by: fcwrangler on October 14, 2015, 08:35:17 PM You need to pry up the cover plate to reveal the sender and screws.

Pry up the cap as suggested to reveal 5 screws. There is a gasket beneath but also seals under screw heads to prevent fuel coming up the threads as the female threads are not blind holes. Rares sell gasket and seals kit with new screws. Two screw heads on mine were so rusty i was lucky to get them out.
