With the car having a gammy fuel gauge, reading pretty much whatever it wanted I decided to change it, last thing I wanted was it running out of fuel, being a diesel it can cause allsorts of problems. So 3 days later a present arrived!

So got the car up in the air ready to get the tank out.

Took out the 1 bolt that holds it all in? Drained some of the diesel out which took half an hour to say there was only 9 litres in it!

Finally got it out and swapped the floats over, I test the other one on a multimeter and the readings were all over the place (when there was any) so put the replacement in and put it all back together and it started first time no coughing or farting!

Took about 2 hours to do roughly, so not too bad getting it back in took 5 minutes. Had to replace all the jubalee clips aswell as they had all rotten and wouldnt come out!
