240 General: - Tank sender ring tool

Jungle_Jim · Nov 16th, 2020, 00:20

Hi all

I'm needing to get to the in-tank fuel sender, and although it's possible without the special 200-series-only tool, it'd be great to be able to use one.

Has anybody got one of these which they could either lend or hire to me, whether that's a proper Volvo one or one they've made made themselves for this job.

Please PM me if you can help.

Much appreciated,

John

I've always just used a long screwdriver or pry bar braced against a bit of wood of a suitable length against the edge of the floor.
Hitting it with a chisel is not recommended as it risks damaging the probably fragile pipes and shakes lots of rust into the tank.

Probably way too late for you, but if anyone needs to borrow one, I made a hefty tool from steel for just this job as mine was reluctant to budge using all other methods. Looks a bit different to those pics but worked a treat.
