Hey Bob,
This looks to be a possible remedy to my clogged tank threads. Where did you source this tool ?
The picture is not clear to me. Im guessing that each of those pieces is for a different thread pitch… yes ?

Hey Dennis,
Thanks!
I have acetone and tooth brushes.
This is good idea, if I can figure how to keep the debris out of tank.

Pointer finger, thumb, rag wet with WD-40, elbow grease. Stick your pointer finger in the opening thumb out side work from the bottom up and rub ( elbow grease) working out of the opening. What little junk you'll get in the tank your filters screens will stop the junk. Finish the gauge replacement and go for a drive!
