SPEAKER 1: All right. We've got our new 5.0 Resto fuel tank sending unit. It fits '87 to '97 Mustang. It comes with a new O ring and a new lock ring, so whether you're going into your old tank or brand new one, it has you covered.

To remove the sending unit from your fuel tank, you want to start by unclipping the electrical connector, then tapping the lock ring to the unlock position. Then you can lift the sending unit out of the tank.

Installation is simple. All you've got do is slide it down into the tank, place your O ring in the groove, and then lock your lock ring down into place.

All right. We've got our new 5.0 Resto fuel level sending unit installed in the tank, and the tank is ready to go back into the car. You'll definitely want to replace your filler neck seal with our 5.0 Resto replacement.

And one thing you might want to consider is the filler neck to trunk floor seal. They're typically rotted or completely torn. We've got you covered, again, with the 5.0 Resto replacement.
