Water in fuel

[sfedeli3]

Hi Don,

Have you ever drained some fuel from the bottom of the main tank?
Each time that I do an oil change, I drain around a gallon of fuel
from the tank (near the sending unit) and find rust, water and sludge
in the bottom of the bucket when I'm done. After everything settles
out, I re-use the good fuel in the bucket. It is messy. As for
changing the sending unit, some fuel will splash out when you remove
the sender- just have the new one ready to go and put your finger over
the hole or insert a 1/4" npt plug until you get the new one. I
removed and replaced mine last summer. If you need part ##'s, let me
know- they are available on line. And yes, the less fuel that is in
the tank, the lower the pressure when you remove the sending unit.

center dash came on. It went on?& off for a while. When I got home I
checked the sending?unit on the main tank. The wire felt loose like it
was bad?in the unit. It is a push on. Does anyone know if this is the
unit that is wired to? the center dash on is the?buzzer?on the
bulkhead wired to it? Can this unit be removed without out draining
the tank. I don't think there is any water in the tank? I do use a
water?treatment?in my fuel??
