I'm sure i've seen this before but can't bring it up on a search.My gauge has started bouncing at quarter full,I'm checking the spades on top,but where does the earth lead connect to ground?

Mine does this also, recently I removed my Fuel Sender and cleaned up stuff. Sadly no results...But anyways, I would think the ground (earth) would be near the left taillight.

I've just tried to trace it back from the top of the sender.It passes between top of tank and boot floor but i can't see the other end underneath or at the back anywhere?

Incidentaly,what is the capacity of the tank?.After cleaning up the terminals on the sender i now get a steady quarter tank but i've just put 20 litres in?

Oh,it's a new sender...

The grounds for the fuel sender end up in the rear-of-car harness, and are terminated at the grounding point between the tail lights.

Thanks Ideola,

It was sosking wet around there,probably from some damage to my hatch seal.I now also have a hatch release that works properly!
