Hi.
Is there any reason for not riveting the fuel sender instead of using rivnuts?
Thanks,
Joao
Its in there for good which doesn't matter too much but i had to change mine so then had to take it out so if you did it would cause problems if
u need to change it
If that makes sence

Remember that you dont want to drill rivets out once you have had fuel in the tank
From the fire PoV it'd be ok if theyre ally rivets, but not Steel!!
From the swarf in your fuel system PoV, its Baaaaad.

Don't rivets leak ?
I don't expect to ever remove my fuel level sender. That said, I removed it to adjust it as it read zero with several litres of fuel still in it. I could adjust it again becaust it never quite reads full. I trust the fuel filter to catch any swarf or debris in the tank but then the inner end of a rivet is quite big in comparison with the fuel outlet pipe. I'd worry that it might cause a blockage.
