You've really got to force it in there on some tanks. The screen tube has some give when forced, and that way it sits tight on the bottom which might help get the most out of your tank.That looks great... like brand new!
Did you use the pick-up screen that came with your sending unit?
I couldn't get mine to fit, so I didn't use it.

Can you show me exactly where your attaching your leads, on the sending unit? I have a multimeter but mainly use it to measure volts on batteries.Here's how the USPS/FedEx delivered my sending unit yesterday
A big box

Set your multimeter to the lowest resistance setting (usually 200 ohms).Can you show me exactly where your attaching your leads, on the sending unit? I have a multimeter but mainly use it to measure volts on batteries.
I have that same sending unit and brass float sitting on a shelf, and would like to make sure it's good before I go dropping the tank to replace it.
There should be a ground jumper from the frame near the tank that attaches to the sending unit.Nice work!!
Great Pics!!
I forget; does the ground attach to the sender? Or a secondary ground?

Attach one lead to the +threaded post, and the other to the -spade. Resistance should range between 10 and 75 or so.
I've used dry ice. Dropped right in.I also put the input shaft bushing in the deep freeze to shrink it some.
