Re: Fuel level sensor
I too have the inline filter and I think it is before the fuel pump. It is a plastic one. Checking the resistance through the range from ¡®¡¯full¡¯¡¯ to ¡®¡¯empty¡¯¡¯ was one of the first

Re: Fuel level sensor
David, I agree and that is certainly among my concerns. That is a good suggestion to soak them in gasoline for a while to see how well it holds up. I have decided to get a new sending unit so I can do

Re: Fuel level sensor

Re: Fuel level sensor
Exactly Ted. On my Torino I put one of those glass inline filters in the engine compartment. The placement of it is where the line just comes out of the apron in front of the drivers side shock tower.
