[Healeys] Fuel tank sending unit

[Ed O'Neal]

Just a simple note about the fuel sending unit.  Often these leak between the flange and the tank.  Usually the cause for this is that the sending unit flange has been bent (upward between screws / downward at the screw) because of overtightening with a cork (or sometimes two) gaskets.  Careful tapping with a hammer and a flat steel surface then a neoprene gasket with usually solve the issue.

In the slow to be resolved discussion on this topic I could not constrain myself this morning. Off to the garage parts bin to see what I could find. Of 14 used senders all had float to front and terminal to rear. One was a cobbled together old base with new float arm and plastic float but still oriented the same way. I know there is a couple more boxes of senders somewhere but got distracted by an old can of motor oil on the shelf and had to read all the verbiage to see if it would help with a new engine breakin !!!!   Just kidding.....
Have a great week everybody
