Are you sure that the sender is bad?  If you unplug the wire at the sender, and the gauge still goes to full, then the trouble is somewhere else.

Could be a short to ground possibly. The wires run through the passenger side & I believe if the circuit is grounded it will show full when there is power.

i was thinking about that to soon as the weather is clear long enough here i am going to pull the wires and see what happens then start running it down. if it is the sending unit may have to just pull it and try to repair it since cant find one anywhere.

According to the classified ad he only wants shipping... if I could afford it I would snap both tank and sending unit. Luckily my sending units A-OK.  ;D
