Removal / replace sending unit

I just finished up doing a sending unit on my 73 duster, with pulling the tank. Dropping the tank made the job so much easier to do in my opinion. Dropping the tank also gave me a chance to inspect the frame and spare tire well under the car. It was much easier to work on with the tank on the bench as well. I put the car up on jack stands, drained the tank, and utilized my floor jack with some wooden cribbing to distribute the weight of the tank evenly. The tank isn't heavy but there is no point in horsing it yourself. I ran new steel fuel lines when the tank was out of the car too. Definitely the way to go. Hope this helps.
