Fuel sender repair

[Yannvanh]

Next on my project was the gas tank/fuel sender.

Did a test on my fuel sender but it was heavily corroded.
So gave it a shot and tried to repair.

Started to take it apart and clean al the components!

Originally it was riveted but i took a copper bolt and gave it a try

Made a gasket so no fuel would leak at the connector.

Then started building it up:

A bakelite washer to avoid contact from positive to ground:

Metal washer on top:

I soldered the cable back (hard to see in the pic)

Put everything back together and give it a test!

Empty tank:

3/4 tank:

I need to order a fuel gauge so i can test it on a gauge itself but i think i did a good job!

I knew there was a reason I have held on to all the originals that were removed from customers buses that were not working over the years.....something to do during retirement! Nice work!
