Sounds like you could have been chiselling the tank flange instead of the
tapers on the locking ring that go under the flanges. I suspect that you
may now get a fuel leak when you finally do remove the sender.
Did you first prove that connecting the green/black and black wires at the
sender together caused the gauge to move when the ignition was on? If they
don't the sender is not the (only) problem.
