Gas Tank Sending Unit Trouble Shooting

[bbbentley]

Never have I done what I am about to suggest, but do you think a little solder on that whole pin, nut, wire area would insure this would not happen again and prevent corrosion at that point? I just believe that that if I have to fix something, I’m going to fix it for good ‘ cause I don’t want to have to do it again. As a disclaimer- I am a purest and want things correct. I also don’t want to re-engineer what GM did, but something unseen and if I can make it better, (even if it is just better in my mind) I’ll try. I probably put too much thought into stuff?
BTW Sam, great diagnostic skills!

Bentley - the same thot crossed my mind. IMO, this is a simple, but poor design. It creates a high likelihood that corrosion will play havoc on the system. I think solder might do the trick. Thanks!
