I also think that my sender is at fault. Does anyone have one, or know where i can get one? Also, as my engine is in, does anyone know if i can replace the fuel sender without taking the engine out?

I just guesstimate when in need to fill up it's an art but I've only run out once an that was somewhere in the mountains in France near milau. But i had a can in the back that got me to the nearest petrol station so it was grand.

A PO hacked an access hole to sender in my bus so I should really have a look.

Sorry I can't answer your question I think the tank has to come out so not sure if the engine does or not.

Interesting pic on the samba.
