So this means it has to be the gauge not working properly , right?
SO TELL ME PLEASE, IS YOUR TANK METAL???
WHAT DOES THE GROUNDING WIRE AT THE FRAME LOOK LIKE???
WAS THE SENDING UNIT FULLY SCREWED ON OR MOUNTED??
DID IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE JUMPING AROUND WHEN YOU TOUCHED IT??
WAS THERE TWO PEOPLE AVAILABLE SO YOU COULD DO THAT??

I WOULD REALLY WONDER IF THE THE ISSUE IS ANOTHER BAD SENDING UNIT OR MALFUNFUNCTION OR GROUNDING OUT?

The reason why is if it were the guage it wouldn't work again.

Electrical issues are pain in the _ _ _ but tracing and patience are the key, OR JUST GET A BIG HAMMER

Please reply on where are with this and I'll get my electrical troubleshooter out.
