    Do I need to drop the tank to reattach the line to the sending unit?

    I think so, the fuel sender wire goes through a grommet in the trunk. Hope it's not too short now.

    Balls... That's what I was thinking. How many hours to tackle this job?

    Just get under the car and plug it back into the sending unit. I'm not understanding what the problem is.  :clueless:

    Oh, so it's exposed and I can get to the sending unit from the bottom of the car w/o dropping the tank? It's so low, I cannot see underneath at all.

    Sweet, Thanks. Hopefully my ramps will get the backend up enough to squeeze underneath

    Shouldn't even need ramps. If you do, you probably need springs....

    I was thinking ramps because I'm too fat to get under the car. But if it's on the side of the tanks near the DS back tires, I'll give it a shot. Does the wire get screwed on?

    So, if I have a bare wire, it got pulled from the connector. Will I need to soder the connection?
