Bruce,
I'd definitely remove the sender unit from the tank before leaving it with
the radiator guys. Someone will have to remove it --- you don't want it
soaked in the hot tank. Best if that is you. I had mine out once to replace
it --- don't remember the exact steps I went through but I remember it
didn't take very long (and for me, that's a rarity).
