Default 2004 nightrain fuel gauge sender.

Hi I have a 2004 nightrain, the fuel gauge allways reads full, unless its not full and I hit a bump. I guess it needs looking at to see if condensation has got to it.

Anyone know how to get to the sender? All I see is a little pipe exiting the tank and a wire. but how do I ge int the tank to look at it.

Or is it just a case of get it changed, I heard there were problems with em on 2004/2005 models, but only hearsay.

Cheers for any advice

I put several pics that will help...
Be sure to read ENTIRE thread before proceeding.....

I recommend, when removing fuel pump unit from tank.. to straighten out
arm rather than removing the single screw I did in my 9:51 am post.

Good luck...
