If the fuel gage must be removed for the EMPTY calibration, there a
two important facts
to keep in mind:
1.
!
The 5 retaining bolts shown in the above picture are NOT in a symmetrical pattern.
Therefore, the gasket and the inside ring that the screws attach to line up only one way.
You need to plan on that when re-installing the gage.
2.
!
The 5 retaining screws engage a ring that is on the INSIDE of the tank. If you remove
all 5 screws, the retaining ring will fall into the tank making for an unpleasant day.
Before removing the last 2 screws, insert a thin wire or string through one of the empty
screw holes all the way through the gage, gasket, and retaining ring. Loosen the
remaining 2 screws to allow some gap between the gage head and the tank body. Then
slip a screw driver under the gage to hold the gap between the gage head and the tank
body. This will provide enough clearance to hook the string on the inside of the tank
using a stiff wire with a hooked end and pull it out. Tie the two ends of the string or
wire together so that one end cannot slip out of the bolt hole when the remaining two
screws are removed. Now remove the remaining 2 screws and remove the retaining
ring through the hole in the tank. There is a notch in the ring to make this fairly easy to
do. Re-assemble using the same technique, but make sure the asymmetrical bolt holes
line up before starting assembly.
