Have the same issue with fuel guage showing empty. Has anyone any pictures of how to remove the clamps / springs from inside the tank? Just in case I have to remove the internal stuff. |

Thats great. Thanks to you both. One more question. Whats the best connectors to use once the old plugs are removed? And do they have to be 'diesel' proof? |

IIRC I simply used in line crimps suitable for the cable size and they weren't

Old-un, most of the sometimes three, four, or five connectors are below fuel level, it's best to replace all or you may end up doing it again.

Finally bit the bullet and arranged for an indy to sort it for me. Garage was 11 miles away and I set off with my wifey following, all done in limp mode and as expected the vehicle stopped every 500 yards but restarted every time 'till I eventually hopped to my destination ( just keep away from motorways ! )

Last year the in tank fuel pump on our old TD6 packed up. I wasn't wanting to spend lots of money on the 150,000 miles workhorse so bought a cheap pump unit complete with the fuel level senders.
