How to Install the Sending Unit in the Attwood 12-Gallon Fuel Tank

The Attwood 12-gallon fuel tank is a portable, plastic fuel tank. It is a one-piece tank with see-through walls made of polyethelene plastic. The sides of the tank give a general indication of the level of the fluid contained inside the tank, in both gallons and liters. With the sender installed, you can establish the amount of fuel in the tank with a glance at the gauge. Installing the sender in the tank takes only a bit more than a twist of the wrist.
