[Tigers] Gauges & Voltage Stabilizer

My experience has been that "old fuel varnish" builds up on the portion of 
the wire wound resistor that is not often submerged in gas (meaning a tank 
that often isn't full).  I have removed the the varnish and have restored 
the funtionality of the sender.  I have also found it necessay to run a 
"shunt" wire (a small flexible wire) from the wiper arm to the body of the 
sender. Senders are often relying on loose fitting parts for conductivity.

 You may also have a bent sender arm or a leaking float.  I have encountered 
situation where the hole is very small and on the top side.  Normal driving 
with a less than full tank did not infiltrate the float.  However, 
completely filling the tank held the float in a constantly submerged 
condition and eventually sunk it.

All this in "generic" sender experience with many different cars over many 
years, but the general principals still apply.
