Re: Where does this go?

Thanks for feedback. It is entirely possible that it has nothing to do with the fuel sender and somehow rolled over next to it. Weird, but possible.

I had similar concerns about grounding both sender-tank, and tank-chassis. I de-rusted the top of the tank and painted it so there was no metal-metal contact with the underside of the trunk. For that reason, I drilled a small hole at the tank halves mating flange and added a wire with a sheet metal screw.

For the sender to tank interface, I spent extra time making sure the metal contact surfaces on top and bottom of the fuel sender body and locking ring were very clean. Then, I forced a wire in between the top of the sender and the tabbed, tank locking flange to attach to chassis as an alternate ground.
Hopefully the combination of those approaches should help me get a good sender ground....

thanks again for your comments.
