Because the fuel sender is located at the top of the tank, the original cork or rubber gaskets eventually dry out and shrink, leading to \"seepage\" when the tank is full or when driving on inclines. This kit restores the factory seal, protecting your paint and ensuring your fuel system remains pressurized and safe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003eThis kit is designed for the standard 5-screw sender units found on the vast majority of air-cooled Beetles.
