Fuel Sender fitting

[alanPARP]

OK here is the problem I'm trying to fit a new sender unit to my gsi. The problem is that the position the sender needs to be in to allow the float to move up and down is almost impossible to rotate the unit round, it seems to catch on some part of the tank. As it is a gsi there is no access panel inside the car and so I'm left under the car on axle stands trying to jiggle the thing in place. Has anyone experienced this before and if so how do you get around it??

Cheers Al

Yes!
Its a nitemare!
only finished it last week, or the week b4!
try putting it in upside down, but u may have 2 jack up the body 2 clear the axle!
make sure you get the pickup in the swirlpot!
Also, i found it easier 2 take off the little filter!
It took me x amount of attempts!
