Re: Couple of fuel tank questions

[Jim Altemose <jaltemoose@xxxxxxxxx>]

I'll throw in a tidbit that may or may not be relevant.

On my 63 Polara, I replaced the sending unit with a new one from
In-Line tube.  The threaded connector from the sending unit was just a
little bit shorter than the original.  This caused the rubber boot on
the factory connector to not seat as deep onto the threaded connector
as it should.  It seemed tight, but wasn't tight enough for a good
connection.  I trimmed about 1/8 inch of rubber off the boot on the
factory wire, and it seated snug and sure.  Works great several years
later.

Check your snugness.
