Bend the arm up for your issue.

You can bend the arm that the float attaches to. Drain the tank, remove the sender then put, say, 5 ltrs of fuel in then mess with the arm, refitting it temporarily, until you are happy with what the gauge is showing.

Welcome, we like pictures, put pictures up. :vb-wavey:

I can't remember exactly cos it's been a while but... there is a bolt , high up, on the lhs rear heat shield, that once removed, allows the heat shield to move over loads, improving access no end. I think I had to cut that bolt off as it was so rusty, seem to recall it was one of those stupid...

I think peeps are getting the engine under tray mixed up with the gearbox one. My engine one was soaked in oil when I got it, ripped the foam off that but haven't got round to refitting it. My mate with a diesel has not refitted his gearbox under tray as he wrecked it getting it off, there is no...

A drop in replacement for the door micro switches would be useful. Some geezer on another p38 forum was 3d printing something which he claimed to be successful then went awol with no further info.

Interesting. Some clever peeps on here.

Jumper earth to mounting flange, jumper positive to the solenoid nut furthest away from the starter body. Spade terminal with a length of wire to the spade on the solenoid. Touch that wire to the positive jump lead clamp to spin the starter. No spin? Connect the positive jump lead to the nut on...

Shiny new sender, gave the tank a coat of some left over green chassis paint someone gave me a few yrs ago. Clashes a bit with the silver chassis .

The sender has come and is 8mm od. The plastic fuel pipe is 10mm od. Ideally I need a compression 90 deg elbow, 8mm one end and 10mm the other, easy to get in a straight fitting but appears impossible in an elbow, never mind....I'll get a 10mm to 8mm reducing set....no where round here sells...

You can get stainless nuts, fitted them to mine maybe 20 yrs ago, still look great.

That might be an option. I should of mentioned that currently I have the later 300tdi sender fitted which is now knacked, it came with a second hand tank I got off ebay, the tank unfortunately leakedwhen I removed the cradle to clean it up so ended up buying a new tank in the end but reused the...

I can't do that without a lot of faff. I run bio which eats rubber and I've converted everything to clear nylon pipe and compression fittings and a facet 12v pump. My plan is to fit a 8 or 10mm 90deg compression fitting to the sender and lengthen the nylon to reach. If the sender tube isn't 8 or...

Ahh yes. Forgot to add the compressor, gloves and overalls to my list. Also an led torch that's permently plugged in in the aux plug in the boot and the necessary lead to charge a phone.
