He either didn't have any idea what he was talking about, or he thought you 
were asking about the wire LEADING TO the fuel sender. THAT wire might be 
18AWG, but I'd guess more like 20. The gauge certainly is important for the 
sensor wire. It is about 12" long and must have a resistance of about 100 Ohms. 
It's about 30-32AWG, nowhere near as big as 18.
