It's an easy mistake and at least your mechanic (you) is honest enough to
say "I don't know". I've made the same mistake in a VW beetle a time or two.

My Bentley shows the float pointing strait ahead, in the direction of the
driver.
And don't be too hard on the guy, I did the same thing and had to check the
book. :)

Subject: dumb mechanic cant remember fuel sender orientation

I have been working on a lot of things under my 82 diesel westy.  my dumb
mechanic (me) can't remember the orientation of the fuel sender when it is
installed, and the Bentley photo is such poor quality I can't tell what they
are referring to for the alignment.  Where should the float be when properly
installed, or is there another way to describe proper orientation?  I need
to reinstall this tomorrow.
