bay fuel sender

is it as trickey a job as it looks to change the sender in a bay? or shall i just keep rosie topped up and fill when i start to get paranoid about the level?

Thats what I do !

dont some have an accses hole ? if not its engine than tank out i think ,. i could be wrong

Engine needs to come out to take the tank out. i'd keep topping it up for now.

Must of been replying at the same time.

i have seen them with a hole that you can get to it from so worth a look

ive a manule for a late bay i'll have a look in there see what it says.

two green ones controll the air from the engine to the window or feet and the red one is the fresh air vent on the front.













i think

thats fucked me i got 2 cables from gsf each with different fittings on the dash end........ i thought they went on the same lever!!!

i got 4 recesses to clip the cables on to and 3 levers maybe mine is different to yours who fuckin knows???? iknows its doin my ed in........ cant find any info anywhere

thats how it works on mine im 99% sure. the red one does the flaps behind the grill on the front. the other two green one do the flaps on the tinware. tbh, ive only used the fresh air vent, the heaters are fine and ive not disturbed em. i'll have a good look the weekend when its light.

cheers bud can you warm your feet separately from the front demisters cos i got a flap on the ducting piece in the centre

see, i thought one lever opens the heat exchangers together then the other lever opens the foot vent and the front flaps are as you said!! does that make sense

cheers baz thanks

i bet theres a manual on line ,

If there's a hole for easy access, it'll be a 'cut-out' section in the flat bulkhead above the engine bay. I can't remember what your interiors like, but if you take out the rear flat bit behind the rock and roll bed, it'll be under there (if there's a cut out at all!).

they're simple enough to change (assuming you've got said hole), take off the 2 wires, and twist the sender (anti-clockwise i fink?) and just pull it out. simples!

when you put the new sender in, make sure the seal doesn't get twisted and sits properly, that's the only pain-in-the-arse bit. if it don't seal properly, your misses will be moaing about the smell (... the bus, not you ) and if you overfill it, petrol will just piss out through the top.
..... yep you guessed it, I've been there, and done that (that was a fun day sat at the side of the road on the Isle of White, with petrol pissing out of the top of the tank right above/infront of a very hot engine, and me absolutely shitting myself thinking anyminute now....BOOM !)

.... but to be honest it ain't worth it 'cos the aftermarket senders that are available are bollox, and still won't give you an accurate reading

.... and where's the fun in knowing that you're gonna make it to the next petrol station anyway !!

get a good filter in line and carry a can of petrol by the looks of it then
