Have you cut the hole in the tank for the fuel sender as yet? The units Able supply are generally installed from outside the tank, requiring a reasonably large hole to be cut (which may lead to some leaking). I took a risk (after measuring up about 200 times) and cut a smaller hole next to the hole for the pump. This way I could get my hand in the tank to install the backing plate for the unit. I fitted the unit and presto, it clears the baffle in the centre of the tank by a poofteenth and works a treat. With a much smaller hole than is needed to install from outside. I haven't filled the tank yet - just enough to start - so I am still hoping that it doesn't leak.
