Al;

If an electrical check (with sender removed) verifies an intermittent connection as a function of float lever position, and internal inspection must be made...if surface corrosion is found (as is often the case with long-term stored vehicles, where moisture was able to do its longterm worst without the wiper occasionaly cleaning it away), great, YOU can manually clean it away and the sender will be good as new. This is a typical failure mode. If the intermittency is due to worn and eventually broken resistance wire, either the break needs to be repaired (this can be done by soldering, and loosing a turn or two woulnd't be the end of the world) or the resistance wire needs to be replaced entirely. I have some notes on this which I'd have to dig out...

Cheers
