I just posted a DIY artcle in the knowledge section. Had to have a day of infusions (transplant related) and so tapped out something. Hope you find it useful, especially the section on resetting your sending unit.

Jim,
Yeah, hope whatever you were getting from the Meds was preventitive maintainence. Be interesting to talk to you at Knotts about the sending unit results. I have the bigger 13+ gallon tank in my JPS and John Steele had mentioned it would stay on full for a long time and then plumment to empty with about 50 miles to go. It hasn't been quite that bad but when it budges off full it hits about 1/4 pretty quick. When I filled it up when it was on 1/4 it took 10.3 gallons and I didn't completely fill it to the filler neck. I have my trusty stick made from a yardstick to do some unscientific measuring!

Hey Big tank Jim,
I have been tweaking and bending the sending unit. I have it fair now, but suspect a big stick will be included in my travels for a little reassurance...On another subject, and don't get me wrong, but with your health issus, when we meet, no hugs, right? No telling what might trail in with me from up north!
Hope you're on target with your phyzzz stuff

Put a tape measure in the opening for the fuel gauge float and measure the distance from that opening at the top of the tank to the tank bottom.
I have a chart that shows how long the float rod has to be for an accurate fuel gauge reading.............Alan

Thanks guys... sniff (tear welling up in my eye). Ya bunch of lugs, that's what you are. Sorry to cause concern... I'm tweaked pretty good by my MD team and that infusion was just a bi-annual thing of anti-bodies called HBig.... 15G for one small bag, a nurse, some relaxers, and a book to read. But that's a drop in the bucket compared to my monthly RXs for post transplant... 4 to 5G monthly, forever. It's good to have this Fed BC/BS and my wife's great policy. I figure I'm into Blue Cross for around 1.4 Million in the past three years.
Ran 5K this morning, and then went to the weights.... doing this 5 days a week in preparation for the Transplant Games in St Paul-Minneapolis, late July/early August 04. I will run a 5K road race, 1500M, and 800M.... representing transplant patients and donors from the semi-great state of 'Okra'homa. How I got myself in this mess is a long story. So, every morning I'm doing it... lost 18lbs in two months the hard way. I'm still 14 Lbs above my target weight. Anyway there are other Team Oklahoma members, doing volleyball, bike racing, swim events, etc... but I was the only fool from Oklahoma to sign up for track and a road race. Imagine that... a double Lung Transplantee running 5Ks and a sprint (well sorta) 800, and the Mile. Life is good boys, I'm here to tell ya.
