Alright folks, the fuel guage sender in my 73 kombi has died of old age.
How do I get at this bastard without taking the tank out, because that means the motor has to come out too.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

the fuel guage sender unit was my 1st Kombi disaster - after all a fuel guage not working is not a consideration in buying a vehicle ---or is it?:cussing
next stupid horrible thing was those rotten 12point screw head bolt things on fuel pump & the drive plate for torque convertor, next was the windsreen washer switch that makes you look like you pissed your pants when you use it

There is an alternative.
I got a spare fuel tap for the 57. I'll just put that in & attach a piece of wire.
Bingo.....instant reserve.........😎
