Dick - I hope you checked the float at the end of the rod. I recently took
my unit out of tank and discovered that little float was cracked and
probably filling up with fuel so couldn't "float". I replaced it and put
unit back in and installed separate ground wire and gauge now works fine.

Subject: [FWDLK] Gas Tank Leak
I have a leak at the junction of the gas float mechanism and the gas
tank in my 1959 Plymouth station wagon. It could be a bad gasket or
just not tight enough. Does anyone know where I can get, or borrow a
wrench to tighten or remove the nut holding the mechanism in place?
Also, due to an incredible lapse of thinking, I did not check the
operation of the float mechanism prior to reinstalling the gas tank - of
course the gas gauge does not work. And, by troubleshooting all parts
of the system, the problem is in the sending unit. Could be the ground,
although I have attempted to be sure via a separate ground wire, that
the sending unit is grounded. Any thoughts?
