Sam, Thanks for the attachments, I had not looked into the project yet as our guage works a little and between that and knowing the roads in Alaska including distances between fuel stops I usually calculate the mileage with a fair degree of accuracy. The Denali trip last fall threw my math off because the road into the Park goes over several mountain passes and we gave an acquaintance and three of her friends a ride out of the Park after they locked their keys in the car. I miscalculated for the extra weight and hills. Now that I know you can access the sender without pulling the tank I will look into fixing it, but I think that I will wait until the temperature gets above -11F. :-) Mark in AK ----- Original Message ----- From: Sam Walters <sam.cooks@verizon.net> Date: Tuesday, February 28, 2006 4:50 pm Subject: Re: gas tank; fixing Syncro tank sender To: Mark Tuovinen <mst@ak.net>, vanagon <vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com> > Mark, > > Several folks say you can do the Syncro fuel sender without > removing the > tank, etc. if you just go in by the left rear tire - after taking > it off. > > See the attached files.
