With the idea of swarf getting inside the tank and possibly not being to flush it all out. I came up with a cunning plan! Blue Peter style! all you need is a cable tie, some tape, and a muffin cup.
As the tank skin is a nice thickness and stainless, I decided to carefully tap the fixing holes out to 5mm.
The fuel sender was shortened and adjusted to clear the baffles inside. I checked its full range with a multimeter outside and noted its resistance range from full to empty, placed it into the tank still connected to multimeter and rolled the tank to move the float through its range. All matched and nothing fouled.

I have to admit that is an absolute cracking idea. Would never have thought of that in a million years. I'm at the stage where I am thinking about my fuel system and will (probably) have to drill my own holes in the tank plate as the sender I'm getting is of the resistance tube type and has 5 screw holes. Got to talk to Andy first though.
