Fuel issue

Replacing things without understanding what's wrong isn't the best method to diagnose a problem, but it's a great way to drain your bank account!

I'm having issues too and I'm thinking its the sock on the bottom of my pick-up tube in the seat tank.

The reason I'm posting is that just this morning I clicked "Buy It Now" on a "J-23346 fuel tank gauge unit spanner". It says that in the service manual and if you get on the google and type that number in you still get hits for a spanner for taking out and installing GM fuel senders.

I went with the proper tool as my Chevelle manual and Truck manual call out the same tool number for removing and installing senders. I have three different senders to deal with so the tool makes sense for me. You can get them out with a brass drift and a hammer but I like tools.

Oh and go used on ebay or similar. You'll faint when you see what that tool number costs new. I paid 16% of the new price listed online this morning.

I hope that tool number helps.
