What is this?

I know it goes to the gas tank, I can tell its never been opened, why would you need it?

It enables you to work on the top of the tank without having to drop the tank, which would be a huge hassle. So, for instance, if you had an in-tank fuel pump go bad, or a fuel line break, or ... things like that.

I thought that, so when I lay my floor do you think I should leave access to it? That's easy enough, so it would be worth it right?

Well, that's what I did. Of course mine is hidden under a couch, so it is not an eyesore, and I couldn't think of any good reason to seal it up.

Our access will be under the dishwasher. We planned it that way. We have already used it to pull and repair the fuel level float. Pulling a dishwasher isn't a big deal.

Great, sounds like ill leave the access. Thank y'all!

[keith-SKO]

so u going to cut a hole in your shower floor when u need to get to the dending unit on the tank.....sound like this boy has brains....

 

[turf]

nope... i own a bus

so......i'm glad i looked at this thread.

whats in the tank of a diesel?
is it just the sending unit? i could live keeping track of my tank if that fails.

or
is there a fuel pump that maybe i should replace now and be good?

this complicates things

 

[bansil]

worst case would be if one of the rubber fill hoses gets a crack or the vent line gets clogged

some may have lift pumps intank
