When it comes to creating strong electrical grounds, I'm a pretty down to earth
guy.
Heh heh.
Double checked the grounding to the fuel tank and to the guages. All my guages
are grounded at the bracket, and ganged together to a common groundpoint on the
chassis in a couple of different places. The problem with the fuel guage is
not the ground. Will do another type check of the guage when time affords.
Thank you all.
