I guess some of the early cars has a grounding strip. I can show 
you a picture of one, but I've never seen one. Someone at VW 
must have realized early on that the bolts that secure the sender to 
the tank make very good grounds themselves.

You can also take the nut on the bottom of the sender loose and 
remove the cover. This will probably make your problem completely 
clear. OTOH, you may have just wiped loose the last remnants of 
old gas and cured your problem.
