The sending unit quit working last year on the midship tank. I bought the combination fuel pump/sending unit with filter since I only want to do this job once. Some people suggest removing the tank shroud before removing the tank, but I didn't find that was necessary. Since the threads on the tank strap bolts are not rusted, it was not difficult to loosen the threads.
I was hoping the upper bolt was a carriage-type bolt, but it isn't. You have to get a 13mm wrench on the bolt on top, and the nut is a 15mm. I am waiting for help to drop the tank so I can get at the sending unit.
I will post the results later after I get the tank dropped. Putting the tank back in, shouldn't be that hard.
