Had to cut the wires on the fuel sending unit to get the tank off to replace the fuel pump.
Please see my
gas tank rant
I have been using my trip odometer NOT my fuel gauge to see how much gas I have for YEARS! The fuel gauge is not really all that important because of that.
A new sending unit was just that much more money and time to wait for the part to come in.
I thought it would be funny to extend the fuel sending unit wires up to the dashboard and put a potentiometer on the end of it. Then I could just turn the dial to adjust the fuel gauge. *poof* free gas!
