(Preview)

Looks like I'll be dropping my tank to clean up the chassis and look for a build sheet. So... do you guys recommend replacing the fuel sending unit?  It's about $50, so seems like a reasonable thing to do. Throw it on the 'might as well' list? As far as I know, the current setup is working accurat...
