Well I found out the hard way that my fuel gauge is off,my wife ran out,at about 1/4 tank,also my res kept flashing on and off sometimes.I filled up with b100,hopeing it will clean off the old junk,off the sender?Anyway how do you remove the fuel sender?I want to try cleaning it,dawg that b100 is very high stuff,I found a place that sales b10 for about 2.69,last time I check.83 300d Mr.bailout he needs it

Under the first aid kit, remove the two screws, slide it towards the front of the car and lift up. Right there it is.

You could always throw in some startron, it will begin to clear up all the gunk thats stuck on your sender, but removing the sender isn't all that hard. You'll need a 46mm (or 1 13/16") socket or a good pair of channel locks.

My 81 240 guage gets to 1/4 aqnd I am out of fuel also even after removing and cleaning the sending unit.
I think my tank vent may be plugged and so I get enough vacuum buildup that at a 1/4 tank the fuel cannot flow.
I haven't tried removing my fuel cap to release the vacuum but will do that on this next tank of fuel

Remove and clean the screen in the bottom of the tank. Drain the tank as much as you can and be prepared for some spillage.
