There was some discussion about this some months back, try looking in
the site archives.
The sender isn't very much, just a float shorting out a pair of
resistance wires. I had to fix mine, thä{o> is put together with
rivets and one of them wasn't conducting properly. A little work with
an ohmmeter showed where the problem was. I used a fairly large
soldering gun to put a drop of solder on that joint(after cleaning
around it). It's been working the last 10 years now. To get it
apart, there's a small, stamped sheetmetal nut on the bottom end.
Remove that and the shielding can slides right off. Assuming your
wires are intact, you might be able to do the same as me and save some
bucks. Be careful, those wires are stretched and look pretty fragile.
Oh, and make sure you've got a good ground to the body from the tank,
too.
