    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Fuel gauge sending Unit repair

On my '79 i was finishing up cleaning out the inside of my tank with Milkstone remover, which worked very well, and i was trying to drain the rest of the water out when the float arm plastic bobber/float came off the metal arm. I hope you understand what i am trying to describe.

My question, what is the best way to secure the float back onto the arm?

Not sure if the factory used some type of adhesive??? There is no screws or zip ties attached to the arm or float.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!
 
Phaseman,

Thanks!! thats exactly what i'm talking about. I'll checkout the stainless steel wire and the retaining washer. I believe i have the original sending unit and the arm is pretty rusted so the milkstone remover (phosphoric acid ) probably eat up what was left of the retaining washer and the end of the arm.

I'll see how things work out, worst case is i get a new/used sending unit.

Thanks for the thread, i did a search but that one didn't come up.
