Instructions:
- Work in a well-ventilated area and eliminate ignition sources. Disconnect the negative battery terminal.

- Raise and securely support the vehicle with jack stands. Support the fuel tank with a floor jack or suitable support.
- Disconnect electrical connector(s), fuel filler neck hose, and fuel lines from the tank. Mark connections if necessary.
- Remove tank straps or mounting hardware and lower the tank enough to access the sending unit or sender access cover.
- Remove the sending unit retaining ring or fasteners, then carefully lift the old sending unit out of the tank to avoid damaging the float or arm.
- Compare the new unit to the old one. Transfer any necessary fittings or gaskets and ensure the float arm has correct clearance inside the tank.
- Install a new gasket or sealing ring, position the sending unit, and secure the retaining ring/fasteners to the specified torque if available.
- Reattach fuel lines and electrical connector(s). Raise the tank back into position and reinstall mounting straps or hardware.
