[Mgs] Fuel Tank Sender unit replacement

[Thompson Allan]

1977 rubber bumper MG B Roadster with a stainless steel tank replaced about
15 years ago.


Fuel gauge was producing variable results and the MG Owners Club had a new
'more reliable' version on sale so I bought one.

Problem is getting the old one out...
The fitting is a 'locking' ring with three prongs that has to be rotated...
but the ring into which it fits appeared to be rusted... on a stainless
tank!... and can't be moved... in fact I have bent the tiny prongs trying!

Does anyone have any tips for removing the old tank sender unit?

thanks in anticipation,

Allan
