Re: Dropped Fuel Tank
The filter is on the bottom of the charcoal canister and costs about
$2.00. They could call it the emissions or evaporative system filter.
I couldn't find aftermarket up here so went dealer. :-( The dealer was
close to the same I think, even in our money, so US dollar and shipping,
well......

Re: Dropped Fuel Tank
Do yourself a HUGE favor and calibrate the sender before putting the tank
back together - they are 'close' but not dead on when you buy them. I don't
recall the exact resistances right now but they are in the FSM somewhere.
Use an ohmmeter or just hook the sender up and see what the fuel gauge reads
at the extreme swings of the float arm. It's much better than spending time
gathering data on what 1/8th tank really means as far how much fuel you
actually have left in the tank :-)

Re: Dropped Fuel Tank
Thanks for the tip. I'll do that. I can understand now why my fuel guage
never went above half tank. The little arm which looks like it acts just
like a POT (adjustible resistance) left the surface about halfway up. Looks
like a very cheesy setup. That's why I was asking for a better quality
after market model.

never went above half tank. The little arm which looks like it acts just
like a POT (adjustible resistance) left the surface about halfway up. Looks
like a very cheesy setup. That's why I was asking for a better quality
after market model.

Re: Dropped Fuel Tank
Thanks for the tip. I'll do that. I can understand now why my fuel guage
never went above half tank. The little arm which looks like it acts just
like a POT (adjustible resistance) left the surface about halfway up. Looks
like a very cheesy setup. That's why I was asking for a better quality
after market model.

Re: Dropped Fuel Tank
Mike, I have a 4.0L Charcoal Canister due to the MPI kit. Does this one
come apart too with a filter at the bottom?
Thanks,
Bill
