I dont have a wire for this spade connection. Is this a ground? Can i just make a ground and connect it to the frame somewhere?
Fuel sending unit ground? Spade connection

There was never a tab like that on an OE unit, hence no wire to connect to it... You can ground it if you want to be certain you are grounded, factory was a clip from spigot to fuel line (that's grounded to frame by it's clamps and bolts). Most tanks are grounded anyhow by the straps and J bolts.

No reason to since it's already together. Make a wire and use the spade on your new sender and be 100% sure you're grounded

Using a multimeter on the ohms scale will prove that beyond the shadow of a doubt.

I found the booklet that came with that multimeter.
Using it is easy when you're trained in that sort of stuff.
I dare a plumber to immediately know how to use a construction calculator to establish rafter lengths, concrete volume or other stuff that trained Carpenters have to know.

Thanks for the idea.

The best place to ground the tank is to the frame. Make a ground jumper with the female spade on one end and ring lug on the other. Attach ring lug to frame. Good source for electrical info: ceautoelectricsupply.com

Thanks. I looped the bare end around a bolt connected to the suspension for the time being. I have to run to walmart for some electrical parts shortly anyway.
