1.
Place a new rubber gasket on the fuel tank with the notch (2) centered between the flange identification mounting
holes (1)
See following NOTE.
NOTE:
The distance between the flange identification mounting holes (1) is larger than the distance between any of
the other mounting holes in the sending unit flange (5).
Ensure the replacement gasket is rubber and that the mounting holes in the gasket are aligned properly
with the mounting holes on the fuel tank.
2.
Feed a new sending unit rheostat arm and float (4) into the fuel tank. The rheostat arm and float should be
positioned toward the outside surface of the fuel tank.

Align the flange identification mounting holes (1) directly over the corresponding mounting holes in the gasket
and fuel tank.

CAUTION
• Ensure all mounting holes in the fuel level sending unit, gasket, and fuel tank are aligned properly
before hardware is installed. Improper alignment of the mounting holes could result in an incomplete
seal between the fuel level sending unit and the fuel tank.
NOTE:
The fuel level sending unit mounts to the fuel tank only one way. If the unit does not fit on the fuel tank
correctly, rotate the unit until it is properly aligned with the fuel tank.
