[C320-list] Fuel Assembly Question

[Fred LEcuyer]

I just did this replacement. Here's what I ordered.

SSS/SSL09.0 SSS/SSL Diesel, Fuel or Water Level Sensor (4 - 60 in.)
Length: Length - 9.0 in. 

I did it on the hard with a full fuel tank.... still a mess as the boat was not perfectly level. If you're in the water, half a tank or less of fuel would minimize any potential spillage inside your boat.

I also changed the fuel gauge to an LED version and am happy with the result.

First Light #960
