I have an old manual that points out that there should be a small copper "strap" that wraps around the rubber gasket at one point to insure a good ground. This manual has a picture of this strap/gasket/sender/tank. I have never seen one of these straps, and I wonder when they were supplied. Once you think about it you realize that the 6 bolts that attach the sender form a perfectly goo ground. What was VW thinking? Or was this just some kind of inside joke on the part of the people who wrote the manual? Has anyone ever seen this copper ground strap? It was just a tiny "U" shaped strap with a hole in each end so it could slip around the gasket allowing one of the bolts to pass through each end, once on each side of the rubber gasket.
