Replacing fuel sending unit and came across a slight problem. After removing the 6 or screws and went to remove it, onlly to find out the unit will not fit thru the opening.There were two add. screws on the unit itself which I removed and now have half removed, The other half will not fit rhru the opening in the tank. Whats up with that? Anyone with any answers to this would be helpful. THANKS!

What opening?
I replaced mine thru the big center acess panel cut in the deck in front of the motors. Took the screws out of the sender disconnected the wires and it popped right out. Do you have a pic?

I did the same as you said,but this sender does not pull out?

what year, top gun?

92 Cafe

have the tanks ever been replaced???

There are gaskets between the senders and tank. Maybe somebody glued them down. Take a thin putty knife and force it between them. Then pry it up. Yours are the ones with the black round top and about 6 small screws holding it down?

Gaskets free, sender loose and free just won't pull out of tank, seems sender is bigger at lower half of sender.

I'm stumped.
The only other part attached to that hockey puck looking thing is a straight alum rod about a 1/4" around attached to the bottom of it that goes into the fuel tank. The hockey puck is about 1/2" thick and thats it.

Best I can tell this ones got a float arm.This should be fun.
