Fuel Sender Assembly: Notes
WARNING:
Fuel vapors can collect while servicing fuel system parts in enclosed areas such as the rear compartment To reduce the risk of fire and increased exposure to vapors, use forced air ventilation such as a fan set outside of the rear compartment. Plug or cap any fuel system openings in order to reduce fuel vapor formation. Clean up any spilled fuel immediately. Avoid sparks and any source of ignition. Use signs to alert others in the work area that fuel system work is in process.
CAUTION:
The fuel sender assembly will spring-up when the locking ring is removed. Do not handle the fuel sender assembly by the fuel pipes. The amount of leverage generated by handling the fuel pipes could damage the joints. When removing the fuel sender assembly from the fuel tank, the reservoir bucket on the fuel sender is full of fuel. The fuel sender must be tipped slightly during removal in order to avoid damage to the float. Place any remaining fuel into an approved container once the fuel sender is removed from the fuel tank.
NOTE:
To remove fuel pump, it is not necessary to remove the fuel tank. Fuel pump can be accessed through the access panel in the rear compartment area.
