fuel tank sending unit

steve miller · Apr 15, 2010

HI ALL
Can any one give some tips on removing the fuel tank sending unit. I was taking the seats out the other day and pulled the wire connections of the top of the sending unit (fuel tank) and the spade snapped of as I pulled it of.
I have wedged the connection together so its working for now!!!
I was going to take out the unit and see if I could repair the connections or replace it if not.
I think you need to hit the round metal circul thing anti clkock wise??
The tank is on a 300tdi defender 1998.
Thanks

not done defender,but most others are tap ring round anti clockwise

just tap the ring around, and remove the seal (you should get a new rubber seal with a new sender).

There's a thread here regarding the Britpart wires being the wrong way round too

Tap ring - remember to twist the sender unit on the way out in order not to damage it.
