Dropped the tank and found my problem. One of the wires going to the sending unit broke off right where it goes into the tank. This section of the wiring can be taken out of the unit but the dealer did not sell it. They wanted $400 for the whole unit that goes in to the tank. No thanks. So, I took out the pigtail, drilled through the plastic the wire goes through right down the wire that was exposed, spliced in a new section and used JB Weld to seal it up. Put it back together and all is good. Cost basically nothing except the tool to remove the fuel lines.
When I looked in the tank it was very clean. I laso found another seal sitting in the bottom. I wasn't sure if it came off when I took it apart so it kind of freaked me out. The seal on the bottom of the sending unit was still on. I saw no reason for there to be two of the large o rings and figure they dropped it in during manufacture. Hope so. Someone let me know if there was suppose to be two o rings. Also, getting that large ring that holds the sending unit in place is a pain in the butt to get to screw on right. So far no apparenet leaks and my guage now works.
