Tobin:

David Beirel (sp? -sorry David, I forget the spelling) fixes these.  The fix
involves drying out the sending unit, which has leaks that are causing it to
short, then sealing it well and testing the micro switches that are
activated by the float in the tank.

Check the archives for David's e-mail address (or he may respond to this
e-mail)  I don't have his address on this PC.
