Sending unit rust

[70Duster340]

If I were to soak my OEM sending unit in vinegar, would it damage the tiny wire winding?

Thanks!

Probably would wreck it. You can remove it for the soak. Bend the 3 tabs and remove the wire winding on its housing. Cut the strap or wire and splice it back together later.

I sent mine to Instruments Specialities Instrument Specialties
They did a fantastic job with it, looks great. Tested to factory specs.

If you carefully take the nut off of the sender post. You can remove the post and winding with out damage.

Look in the how to section for a rebuilding how to.

I bought a rusted sender from a wrecking yard. After soaking the metal parts (winding and post removed) in evaporust. It was swiss cheese. On a positive note I did get a good winding out if it.
