Hi All
I have just treated my old 165 to a fuel sender unit, (it does deserves a Chrissy present too for all its hard work it does for me.)
The old sender had fallen apart ages ago so it wasnt any guide to me to which way about in the fuel tank the float should face when installing it, but it does appear after trying different positions that the float arm works the best pointing back towards the rear of the tank, but that has the float arm directly under the filler neck, I'm concerned that it could be damaged easily if the pump nozzle catches it. This unit has the mount with five screw holes. Does anyone know which way about the unit should face?
Cheers and best wishes for Christmas Arthur from Tassy

Hi David and Jeff

David. I have opted to leave the float arm pointing back for now, as the chance to it would hit the end of the tank is too high the other way around plus it would be pointing 72° around from staight ahead.
I'll just be carefull when filling up to full as to not catch the arm when withdrawing the nozzle.

Jeff. The 165 Diesel that I have is the British build model and it has a cut out in the top of the bonnet/hood that is covered by the hinged lid and the sender is just forward of the filler neck,
clean all the build up of dust and rubbish that collects on top of the tank so none drops inside when you work on it, and all you need then is a couple of flat bladed screw drivers, having a thin one for the front screw is helpful, which on mine is slightly under the edge of the bonnet and to undo it easliy after loosening with the heavier blade .
The gadge was also faulty so I have pulled it apart, a very tedious job, it was full of corrosion and found that it has two coils inside with one being open circuit, when trying it only placed the needle on the E mark (empty) and didn't operate over the rest of the scale, the round filing cabinet for it and another gadge ordered.

I need to replace mine as well. Plus I have a slow drip at my cut-off valve. How much trouble was it to get to the sender?

Hi Arthur,
Good point about the fuel nozzle. From memory the float should go forward of the mounting flange, hence the 5 screws to limit the possible ways of fitting. More important to have the float arm pivotting front to back rather than side to side. Regards
