fuel gage sending unit fix

     For over a year, I could not get my fuel gage to work.  Previously, I 
     determined that the problem was in the sender unit (ground out the 
     wire to test it).  To fix the sender unit, try removing it from the 
     tank (carefully!).  Take off the protective housing, and place the 
     wires and float in a large glass of concentrated generic detergent for 
     about 15 minutes.  Dry.  Reinstall.  
     
     Don't mess with those hair thin wires.  I'd hate to have to fix those 
     if they broke (probably would never work the same again).
     
     Detergent (without all the fancy additives) is great for stripping 
     corrosion off of copper.
     
     Also, try sanding down the top of the flange where the bolt heads make 
     contact (and complete the circuit).
