Can someone tell me?
And is still a 3/4" to remove?

Temp sender for the gauge was a 13mm at the very back of the head on my 89

I'm thinking its the fuel pump or something to do with the fuel. When i hit that thing on the fuel rail some comes out but it just pours out. Doesn't it normally spray out?
