How do you get the fuel sender out of the fuel tank on a mk1 escort?

 

Thanks

I used a brick to get the sender out as my hammer got stolen...

 

The sender looks fine but i think i need to try a new one to be sure its really not working!

 

Anyone got one i can try out/buy?

 

Thanks

owning a escort you should have a selection of hammers, most used tool

try putting an ammeter over the two sender terminals as you move the sender the resistance should change. im sure someone on here knows the correct resistance

Whatever i did the fuel gauge now works

 

I drove the car for the first time today as i was testing the brakes and they work but i think i need to check out the hand brake as its not doing much!
