Gents, anyone have the secret clue/handshake/password you need to get the in tank pump fuel sender unit back in? After an hour or so of fiddling every which way I'm starting to wonder if I really want a fuel level sender at all.
I replaced the dead pump with a 740 pump following Dave's instructions. I know I got the old unit out with some difficulty but it seems there is no way it will go back in.
The new pump has a fairly long, about 4"sock that I have oriented to the 9 o'clock position when the outlet fitting is about 11 o'clock. I slid the end of the sock in first, then the end of the fuel pump, but there is no way the float has enough room to get in no matter how I twist or angle the unit.
By the way, I found out why the old pump died. When I pulled it out there was no sock on the end of the pump. Couldn't see one floating around in the tank either. There was a piece of silver foil jammed in the pumps impeller.
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.
