I say no UNLESS you severely bend the wire float arm to clear things. On one 
broken sending unit here at my place, the right-angle bend as the float arm 
enters the resistor, someone did this and the severely curled arm broke in 
two.... I'd also say that getting the sender out is perhaps 45% of your problem. 
There's a large vertical slosh-baffle inside the tank; if you return a new 
sender to the tank the same way, there's an excellent chance the float will go into 
the wrong compartment and you'll get an erroneous reading- or no reading at 
all. Its SO simple to pull the quarter-window and frame out, taking such a 
chance makes no sense to me at all. Good luck- J Deryke
