New fuel tank/sender module!

[Citizen]

How many of you guys are running this new set up?

I've had mine since January. Works great. Installed it myself. Had a little issue with the fit (kinda tight, top bumped the cover), but in the end it worked out. No problems to report. Fuel guage seems extremely accurate, and no bouncing around.

Just installed mine last night. Very easy to install, which was a welcome change from projects of late. The instructions are very well done and the unit is incredibly quiet. You'll tune out any noise real quickly. The overall design and construction of the unit looks great. I installed the new fuel filter and by far that was the worst part, if you decide to do that too.

Thanks guys, just placed my order.

Any tricks or tips getting getting the pump into the tank? It is a super tight fit!! I'm scared I'm going to break it trying to push it down. I worked on it for an hour, and its not in.

Did you attach the rubber to pump and then into the tank? Or did you place the rubber in the tank and then set the pump in?

I used a hair dryer to soften the rubber which seemed to make it a little easier but by then I was annoyed and gave up. I'll give it another go tonight.

What rubber?

The rubber that goes around the pump, it sits in between the pump and the tank. The piece of rubber that goes around the "neck/top" of the pump.

I had the rubber gasket around the pump when I installed mine. It was tight, but I was able to work it all the way down by rotating the whole thing slightly
back & forth while pushing it in.

I put mine in a brand new tank however. I don't know if the opening is larger than original or not.

Try a little light lubricant (petroleum based) on the rubber gasket.

Can I use silicone lubricant?

I'm sure you are joking because petroleum will break down rubber.
