Saved for later, I need to replace the OEM sending unit on my Pop's 66 as it started to leak.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Nice! :)

7 Excellent video my friend Andy, apparently it is a very simple aspect but in daily life it saves us a lot of problems. Greetings!!!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Thanks!

[@mikehasamear564]

Great video Andy, this is exactly what I needed.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Great to hear!

[@Kualeppi]

Nice video, i'm going to change sender unit, tank and whole fuel line to new next year. I'm changing original 5/16" to stainless 3/8" fuel line.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Sounds great, good luck!!

[@CodHumors]

you are a god send with these videos thank you!!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Glad I could help!

[@68orangecrate26]

Outstanding video… Beautiful car😎

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Thank you! 👍

[@KenGetRight]

Thanks for dropping this video, im doing this tomorrow on my 66!

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Good luck, you’ve got this!! 🙂

[@KenGetRight]

@@AndyKruseChannel yes sir!

After the 2019 restoration on my 1966 2+2 I found I had some trash in the tank. Bought a new tank with a drain and sender. Das gauge has been off since. need to pull it and check Ohm. thx

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Sounds like a good idea. :)

[@rednuhtorfa]

Just did that. Word of advice, take off the driver's side exhaust/muffler. Absolute pain in the ass if you dont

[@BrianJessome]

A good tip is to coat the gasket with vasoline and lay it in the ridge in the tank. Then put the sending unit in. The Vasoline will hold it in place.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Good tip. 🙂

[@yourlocalbrothermachnic]

Cool

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I think so too. :)

[@davekurschenska8118]

Did mine 3 weeks ago on my 68 coupe, were did your tank read when you put your 4 plus gallons of fuel back in

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I don’t recall, I wasn’t paying attention. 🙂

[@davekurschenska8118]

Ok mine had 4 gallons, I put it back in and the gauge read just above empty and drove to gas station took just about 8 gallons on full, drove it on a good cruise before I put it bed for the winter with stability and filled the tank

[@wilzonrecinos9560]

Im going to change my sending unit this weekend but I’m replacing with the one that has a return line inlet , I am trying to combat heat soaking . Im also going to use a vapor release fuel filter. Has anyone else used that method?

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I don’t have any experience with those units, but I’m curious how it’ll turn out. You should put together a video on it. 🙂

[@larrymoss4237]

I have except I put the return line where the drain plug is. Works great and I didn’t need to replace the sending unit!

[@TexanGuy]

We’re you having issues with the old one or just replace for good measure?

[@rustybritches6747]

It looked fine, it was probably the wrong ohm reading for the gauge hes using.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

I had no idea of the condition of the sending unit, it was on my list of parts to replace as I continue to go through the car. It was fine, but now I know for certain that everything is good on that end. :)

[@TexanGuy]

@@AndyKruseChannel Smart 👍

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

Did you check the ohm rating on the old unit? Just wondering if it read incorrectly.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

It read fine. :)

[@wolfthornhawkridge5705]

@@AndyKruseChannel got to love it.

[@CodHumors]

So i just removed my FSU and a pair of pliars works better than a flat head to remove the key

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Good to know. :)

[@RScesium]

I’ve replaced twice. Not accurate. Someone makes a new type that uses a laser to measure the fuel level. Forgot details.

[@AndyKruseChannel]

Yeah, I’ve heard these are made cheaply and there’s a relatively high chance of a faulty unit, that’s why it’s best to test before installing. 🙂
