I take it that I need to take down the tank first? The assembly manual shows the sensor to be fixed on the top of the tank. However, I wonder about my fuel lines... they are metal tubing, which are not flexable. How should I remove the tank without damaging the fuel lines? I'm an amateur mechanic... is fixing the sensor doable? I have no car jack, and would have to do this with the car sitting on the ground. thx, Bram Bram Stolk View Public Profile Find all posts by Bram Stolk Add Bram Stolk to Your Buddy List   #2   08-29-2006, 02:13 AM RSCamaro Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 116 removing the fuel sensor On Sun, 27 Aug 2006 12:07:08 +0200, bram stolk <b.stolk@chello.nl> wrote: Quote: Hi,If I want to repair the fuel sensor of a '75 camaro, which onlypicks up two readings: off-chart to the left, and off-chart to theright when empty.I take it that I need to take down the tank first?

You could have just a broken ground wire, but I forget how to diagnose the sender. I don't remember if it goes that a broken ground and the guage reads full or empty. I thought that I read it in a chiltons service manual. ...Ron -- 68'RS Camaro 88'Formula 00'GT Mustang RSCamaro View Public Profile Find all posts by RSCamaro Add RSCamaro to Your Buddy List   #3   08-29-2006, 08:35 AM Bram Stolk Junior Member   Join Date: Apr 2005 Posts: 8 removing the fuel sensor RSCamaro wrote: Quote: Generally, there is a rubber hose that connects the fuel line to the tank line.

Where should it attach to the chassis? thanks, bram Quote: ...Ron -- 68'RS Camaro 88'Formula 00'GT Mustang Bram Stolk View Public Profile Find all posts by Bram Stolk Add Bram Stolk to Your Buddy List   #4   08-29-2006, 01:23 PM RSCamaro Junior Member   Join Date: Jan 2006 Posts: 116 removing the fuel sensor On Tue, 29 Aug 2006 18:35:25 +0200, Bram Stolk <bram@geenspam.sara.nl> wrote: Quote: RSCamaro wrote: Quote: Generally, there is a rubber hose that connects the fuel line to the tank line.

Both of the books I looked at say that the ground wire is connected to the floor pan. ...Ron -- 68'RS Camaro 88'Formula 00'GT Mustang RSCamaro View Public Profile Find all posts by RSCamaro Add RSCamaro to Your Buddy List « Previous Thread | Next Thread » Thread Tools Search this Thread Show Printable Version Email this Page Search this Thread: Advanced Search Display Modes Linear Mode Switch to Hybrid Mode Switch to Threaded Mode Posting Rules You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts vB code is On Smilies are On [IMG] code is On HTML code is Off Forum Jump Please select one User Control Panel Private Messages Subscriptions Who's Online Search Forums Forums Home -------------------- Cars Lounge     General     Acura     Alfa Romeo     Audi     BMW     Dodge     Ferrari     Fiat     Ford         Ford Explorer         Ford Falcon         Ford Festiva         Ford Flathead         Ford Focus         Ford Mustang     GM         GM Cadillac         GM Cadillac Deville         GM Camaro         GM Camaro Firebird         GM Chevy Malibu         GM Corvette         GM Fiero         GM Oldsmobile         GM Pontiac     Honda     Hyundai     Infiniti     Isuzu     Jaguar     Kia     Lexus     Mercedes Benz     Mini     Mitsubishi     Nissan     Peugeot     Porsche         Porsche 911         Porsche 928         Porsche 944     Rolls Royce     Saab     Subaru     Toyota         Toyota Camry         Toyota MR2         Toyota Prius     Volkswagen         Volkswagen Beetle     Volvo All times are GMT -8.
