New fuel guage, sender unit - still not working

Funny how things work out... I start fiddling around behind the gunnel hatch near the fuel hose... boom, the fuel vent host/fitting broke in half.

Don t say Boom when working with gas!

I think ,on my V, the tank is bonded to the fill and to the battery 1 wire from the sending unit going to the engine. I have never used a fuel gauge. When i topped off the tank i would set the trip on my gps. I figured 2 mpg at 50 gallons and refilled at 75 miles. Usually within 3 gallons of my estimate.

The new motor records fuel flow and consumption, so still don t have a gauge. And I still set the trip on the gps (old habits...).
