Hi Spasske,

I fixed my tubular fuel sender unit by spraying carb cleaner inside it then repeatedly turned the unit upside down to check the float able to run to both ends. Good for almost 7 years. Now its becoming stuck again and might need another treatment.

BTW I found out that the IPD oil filter grabber tool (which looks like a big pair of pliers) is good to un-tighten/tighten the fuel tank bung ring. Open to its largest size to grab the ring and turn. No more knocking using screwdriver or wood block.

Regards,
Amarin.
