Jimmy Justice Posted Thursday at 11:47 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 11:47 PM I have a 1949 Dodge B1D. The sending unit needs replacing. The whole in the floor board lines up (generally) over the sending unit. My problem is that the angle between the floor board and the sending unit is too step for me to get a screw driver flat enough to be of any use in loosening the locking ring. Is there a specific tool for this task? The hole in the floor board has an inside dimension of 2.75 in., it is roughly 2.5 inches above the sending unit and the locking ring has three slots to "twist" it into/out of lock, which are roughly 2.25 inches apart. I cannot find anything on line or in local stores that would work. Any suggestions or directions are appreciated. Thank you. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave72dt Posted Friday at 02:59 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 02:59 AM You may have to make your own, maybe a cardboard template to determine notch placement and size. Access to two of the three notches should work to turn it. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brent B3B Posted Friday at 05:18 AM Report Share Posted Friday at 05:18 AM I agree with Dave, I made mine out of scrap pipe On 8/22/2016 at 10:08 AM, Brent B3B said: wanted to share something I made to remove the fuel tank sending unit ring. nothing fancy and I know a screwdriver or pliers work but, I had a 8" section of 2-1/4" pipe and tacked on some 1/4" rod to pick up the ring ears/tabs, and drilled a hole through the other end 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
