It's an easy mistake and at least your mechanic (you) is honest enough to say "I don't know". I've made the same mistake in a VW beetle a time or two. Thanks, Tom Hargrave Our Web Sites: www.kegkits.com http://www.kegkits.com/JABF/ www.stir-plate.com www.andyshotsauce.com 256-656-1924

And don't be too hard on the guy, I did the same thing and had to check the book. :) -----Original Message----- From: Vanagon Mailing List [mailto:vanagon@gerry.vanagon.com] On Behalf Of Alan Felder Sent: Friday, August 14, 2009 11:58 PM To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Subject: dumb mechanic cant remember fuel sender orientation I have been working on a lot of things under my 82 diesel westy. my dumb mechanic (me) can't remember the orientation of the fuel sender when it is installed, and the Bentley photo is such poor quality I can't tell what they are referring to for the alignment. Where should the float be when properly installed, or is there another way to describe proper orientation? I need to reinstall this tomorrow. Alan Felder -- Not all those who wander are lost |
