Default Cherokee fuel sending units

I have had these pups (fuel tanks) out in 1999 to change the sending
unit gaskets, replace the main fuel lines, and replace the overflow
hoses. I replaced the tank screws with the proper structural stainless
screws. Can I reuse them? I do not recall anything saying they were
"one-time".




I have removed stainless steel tank screws on a Cherokee 140. They had been
in place for about 10 years. On probably half, I bunged up the heads to a
point that I did not want to reuse them. In the scheme of things, cost of
new screws is a pittance. Save yourself some aggravation and buy a new set.
