Hi from Arizona.
I went to test my 601XL fuel tank for leaks and the sender unit. With fuel in the tank, I am getting no ohms from the sender unit. Empty the tank and I get ohms! Is this because tank isn't grounded? (it isn't in the wing yet) Any thoughts out there? Thanks in advance.

The sender and fuel tank must share ground with the gauge. If there
is no ground for the fuel tank then there is an incomplete circuit.

If I recall correctly, that's the way it's supposed to work. The
sender varies from abut 180 Ohms for an empty tank to about 10 Ohms
when full. The gauge reads full scale for full: full scale meter
reading = maximum circuit current = lowest resistance.
