First, check the inside of the tank for any debris that could've gotten in there during shipping. Once done, please mount the provided O-ring before installing the stock sending unit.

Remove the stock sending unit from the stock fuel tank. We recommend draining any remaining fuel from the sending unit to prevent spilling anything once you install it into the S&B Fuel Tank.

Install the stock sending unit into the S&B Fuel Tank.

When installing the stock sending unit, make sure to clock the tab in the correct orientation/position depending un your model year.
