    Finally was able to get a new battery.
    battery prices are killing me these days. what happened to the 50 dollar battery?

    gas gauge reads nothing so the sending unit might be bad. I know some sending units tend to have a wired get corroded and then it stops working.
    I've never removed the older in tank pump units.
    or the metal tank units i'm used to plastic tanks same thing just unscrew the cap using a hammer and screw driver?

    I was not able to hear any pumps run. I heard the relay click so that should be good



    Fuse 5 is the fuel pump fuse i'll check that as well. if no then i'm running a 12v power source to the outside pump directly

    These two images were of help to me when I pulled my in-tank pump/level sender:





    And yeah, just use a screwdriver and a hammer and tap it loose.

    I blew my dashboard regulator - only thing it affected was.........the gas guage and temp level.

    Might be that simple.

    and I will have a spare maybe..
