Paul,
As Richard said, turn the black knob and it will release and pop out toward you. It is ready to act as a pump. I have found it is a wonderful thing when changing my fuel filter. Instead of having to add fuel to the nearly empty filter container, I just pump like crazy and little by little the canister will fill with fuel from the tank ( nice and clean ). Makes changing a filter a piece of cake.
Yes, I have had the pleasure of changing the fuel sender on my #530. It was not easy. I have seen Newell jacking up a fuel tank and moving it out to change a sending unit. I had to move my tank slightly and remove portions of the bay door to get the clearance I needed to put the new tube in without bending it. Gauge works much better now, but I still rely on the DDEC ProDriver display for fuel consumed. Just remember to reset the ProDriver when you fill up. Senders were available online in the $70 range at the time I did mine. Good luck - Russ
