"Hi I'm Doug. I work with twenty great guys in St. Louis at Doug Jenkins Custom Hot Rods, and we're going to do some work for you today on Expert Village. Now we're going to install our brand new fuel tank in the car. So the sending unit is just a resister unit, the float goes up, this is where the fuel gage gets it's signal is from this wad of stuff here. There's a resister in that little can. There's locating tabs on the fuel tank sender that line up with the tabs on the tank so you get the thing in there just right. Mark's pointing at them. Otherwise, you end up getting an incorrect reading. Then a drift pin to drive the keeper down shut, and we're ready to install the tank."
