Pulled rear tank for the second time since installing it 3 weeks ago. ******** the PO didn't want to deal with it. Leaking again from the sending unit and the fuel gauge stopped working when I pulled it out the first time. Hmmm.... wonder why ******** didn't want to deal with it?
When I got it down and pulled out the sender I found the plastic cover of the sender was off and the wire was disconnected. Must have taken a shot at some point. No idea how that might have happened....
Spent 2 hours the other day testing wiring and rewiring the plug pretty much for nothin'. At least I get paid for my labor time. Oh wait, that's right I'm the boss. I don't make **** for fixin' my work truck. Damn I was lookin' forward to that paycheck! Anyway, soldered it, re-soldered the brass float that was filling up with diesel again. bought new sending unit gasket and ring, pulled and reinstalled the breather as well because it was also leaking. The Good News? Fuel gauge works. The Bad News? No money to fill the tank and test the sending unit seal.
