Just got a new sending unit. There is a label on the outside of it in German and English saying remove safety pin before installation. Can someone tell me where is this "safety pin" located? Thanks.

It's under that label. Just keeps the inner float from bouncing around during transit.

It's not very long. Your timing for asking this was perfect. I just dug this one out yesterday to test a gauge so it was very handy to take a pic. Dan |
