[FC] gas tank

[noahsarkinc]

It will not stop the gauge from working, however, the gauge is supposed to 
be at the top of the gasoline level, so when it is at the bottom of the 
tank, the guage will read empty, and the tank will be empty.  No worry about 
it grounding out, since the actual sending unit is located at the upper part 
of the sending unit.   The pick up tube is located at the end of the sending 
unit, and moves up and down with the level of the fuel in the tank, unless 
you are using a fixed pick up tube that will be seperate from the gauge 
unit, which I doubt is the case based on your question.... Paul in CT
