You can also run another ground from one of the mounting screws to some
point on the chassis.

Subject: syncro fuel gauge issue fixed

last week I posted a question about where the syncro fuel level sender
ground to chassis - friend's '91 van had fuel gauge reading low all the
time. Today I was able (during daylight, which is a great advantage) fix the
problem. We were able to get the electrical connector off the sender, and
boy was it a tight fit. Discovered that the ground connection in that
connector was corroded, and after cleaning and reassembly, the fuel gauge
worked properly.
