Tank is out but when disconnecting the sender wires the tag that isn't on the centre nut came away at the soldered join to the tank looking at the picture I think the remaining bit left see piccie is steel not ally so I am hoping I can solder a new wire / tag on to it Any Tips on how do do this successfully ? No 1 yes the tank is empty and i intend to fill it with water for the soldering

Use a round terminal on the wire and put that under one of the five small bolts holding the fuel sender in place. Just make sure the surfaces are clean providing a good earth point. ------------- If you're going through hell, keep going http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=2999" rel="nofollow - 89 Ski <a href="http://www.correctcraftfan.com/diaries/details.asp?ID=5685" ta |

I agree with Mark on using one of the mounting machine screws as a ground. Have you ever tried soldering aluminum?   ------------- /diaries/details.asp?ID=1622" rel="nofollow - 54 Atom /diaries/details.asp?ID=2179" rel="nofollow - 77 Tique 64 X55 Dunphy Keep it original, Pete < |
