Agree, no ground strap. The sender was grounded with a clip that went from the pickup to the main fuel line. There should be a blue wire that goes through a grommet in the trunk that plugs directly onto the sending unit.
Hey KD, it looks like this. I used one of the high tubes for venting and the low one as a return if fuel makes it that far when it expands. I have the same tube in my trunk. The tube that goes up front ends up at the valve cover breather which stores any fumes in the crankcase. Hope that helps.
I installed the tank into the car. Before doing all of this, I cleaned up the straps and original hardware. I reused the original tank mat as it was in near new condition. 54 years old and in amazing shape.
Once the tank was nice and snug, I connected the rubber fuel lines to the hard...
Update;
So I finally received my tank and sending unit from Tanks Inc. I want to say a big thank you to @HALIFAXHOPS for sending my stuff over to Germany and @1 Wild R/T for putting me onto this method in the first place. Two great forum members.
I unwrapped this beauty and started work...
The car looks fantastic. Its a huge challenge to take on a restoration like that in Germany, so congratulations to you for that. I am sure all of the extra shipping and customs charges hurt your wallet, but the car is amazing so worth it.

Beautiful job as always Wayne. I love the attention to detail you provide on all of your cars clean ups. Thanks for sharing and enjoy driving that stunning car.
I had issues with mine. It turned out to be an intermittent connection at the bulkhead connector. As others have said, pull it and check for crud build up on the threads of the sender. Test the wiring back to the gauge. If you ground out the signal wire, the gauge should go to H. You can do that...
In preparation for my new tank, I removed the old one with a crack in it. Its such a shame as the original tank is in amazingly good condition. Oh well, its done 54 years, that's probably enough.
First I cut the old hoses off near the tank. This is an ECS car, so has the 4 nipples on the side...
