fuel aending unit

[kelh2o44]

Do I need to drop the fuel tank to replace a fuel sending unit in a 1969 Dart?
Thanks guys!

You shouldn't. Look under the car, it should make sense to you.

You do not have to drop the tank but make sure that you drain it or you will get covered in gas when you remove the Sending unit.

I drained the tank then dropped the passenger side a bit to make easier for myself.
But not, you don't have to drop the tank.

First, make sure it's a sender problem. Check to see if the ground strap is installed correctly. It should bridge the rubber hose by connecting to the steel line on both sides. If that looks good, pull the sender wire and attach a jumper wire from the sender wire to ground. Turn the key to the "on" position and see if the gauge starts to come up. If it does, turn it off immediately so you don't burn out the gauge. The problem is in the sender or float. If the gauge doesn't come up, the problem is somewhere else.....gauge, voltage limiter, circuit board, wiring, etc.
