Happy Easter!

When reinstalling OEM Fuel valve,  Should I slide screen over stand pipe and then install or should I insert screen into tank then insert the stand pipe and valve.

I have a flawless Interstate tank and would like ideas for filling the void of the fuel sending unit. I have heard some say get a old sending unit, but I checked with my Honda dealer to see if the shop had something and they came up with nothing.

Thanks for the information all of you provide.

either way will work.
a dab of grease on the o-ring or bottom of the screen will help the screen not swist as you tighten the valve.

Ever thought of getting a sending unit from Pinwall or other source and installing a gas guage on you bike. I'd love to do that with my Tourer, but an Interstate tank is pricey.
