1968 MF 135 diesel.
Fuel gauge pegs full regardless of fuel level in the tank when electricity is applied via the on switch.
Single wire connection on the top of the sender in the tank to the left pole on the gauge in the dash.
Ground is a metal strip from the sender base touching the tank held on by a hex cap screw holding the sender to the tank.
Pegging full under power I believe indicates lack of ground.
I then ran a ground wire from the cap screw on the sending unit to the frame and from the other pole on the gauge to frame. No success. Removed the wire from the gauge to frame, no success.
What am I missing?
