Re: for Ken Mitchell - Re: fuel sender- official count

["Keith Winter" <kwinter@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

OK, I've decided, I'm not taking my RS in for it's 6000 mile 
service when it's due; that service must be rough on the fuel 
sender...  

Seriously, though, I wonder why this should happen.  Do they 
remove the gas tank for the 6000 mile service, and thus 
somehow damage the sender?  Maybe they put the tank on the 
floor in such a way that the sender is being crushed???  Does it 
extend out from the bottom somehow?

I can understand the tank being removed for the 12000, when 
they have to get to the intake valves for the valve clearance 
check, but I don't know what part of the 6000 mile service might 
require it; are the valves also checked at that service, too?
