Hi Frank,

I was going to reply to your other post about siphoning the fuel out before starting the job. I was going to suggest a full tank would be less dangerous than an empty one, as I've been told over the years by folks who seem to understand the relationship between vapor pressure and ignition. And I could not imagine, from my recollection, the tank being so full it would lap the edges of the access port.

Instead, I discarded my reply as being possibly dangerous and uninformed advice, but now I wonder, do you think it could have been full enough to spill out when you removed the sender ring? Seeing the filler tube enters there, it does look to me like someone could top off the tank and give you a mess when you unscrewed the ring. My memory suffers, but I believe I filled up no more than 20 miles prior to changing the pump on that 940.

Drive carefully. It's not only cars that can be recalled by their maker.
