I have a reproduction gas tank.
It has a reproduction sending unit for my 12 volt set up.
The gauge reading used to be accurate, though is not anymore.

I just pulled the tank & the sending unit is rusty; yay.
My ohm meter reads MORE when in the empty position & LESS in the full position.

When I tested it to the gauge; it is inconsistent with the gauge reading.
And so....I feel I need to buy a new sending unit.
Any suggestions on where to buy a decent quality one?
CW Moss seems to have one for $50 that may be fine.

And...just to confirm...the gauge grounds via being screwed onto the tank and the tank grounds via the drivers side mounting bolts; right?

Thanks!

Just be sure to buy a sender that matches your gauge. Senders die quicker these days because of the gas.
