That is the sending unit for the low fuel warning lamp. It does not
work if coated with something else.
If it has been in since car was new, then probably need a new one. So,
go ahead, and slosh the inside
of the tank. Also, Bill Hirsch makes gas tank sloshing compounds.
Original formula, and latest one for
fuels with alcohol in them.
To seal the new sending unit. Buy a new unit from Abingdon Spares.
Theirs comes with a fiber washer set, that works much better than cork
or rubber. If you have a new sending unit, and just need these gaskets,
part no. is 19/157H.
Using a honing stone, hone flat both the flange on the tank, and the
mating face on the sending unit. Purchase Yamabond #4 from a Yamaha
dealer. Coat both sides of all gaskets, as well as the threads of the
screws that you are going to install the unit with. You should end up
with no leaks by doing this.
