[Mgs] Fuel Tank Sender unit replacement

[Mike Janacek]

In addition to Charlies and Pauls tips here are a few more:
1. Please use a brass punch or something that won't create a spark when 
knocking on the retaining ring!
2. The exploded drawings on the Moss website used to show the gasket 
incorrectly. It goes between the tank and the sender.
3. Have a quarter tank of petrol (gas) or less and jack up the right 
side to swap out the sender.
