I started today by adding a ground wire to the sender grounding plate. I have read that some people had to do this in order to get proper ground to the fuel sender. I removed a screw, added some fuel sealant and then placed the wire.
While waiting for fuel sealant to dry I performed the ELT tests. After a run to Radio Shack I made a makeshift ELT GPS tester light. I tried doing the test and could not get the light to light up. It may be due to the wrong type of resistor so I will order a few supplies online to make a better tester. I performed registered the ELT and performed the ELT self & G tests and they both passed.
I decided to add a few gallons of fuel to see if the ground wire to the fuel sender functioned properly. I added 5 gallons and the results were much better than before.
