...and taken apart. Float seemed to run up and down ok but cleaned everything anyway. Two silver wires and one copper wire all look ok. Is there anything else I should look at before putting it back together? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif)

Measure the resistance across the sender when the tank is empty and when it is full. A full tank should give you very little resistance (I think something like 10 ohms) and an empty tank more like 80 ohms. If you don't mind making a mess, you can take the sender out of the car and measure when it's right side up and then when it's upside down (allowing the float to slide to what would normally be the top) instead of filling and draining your tank multiple times.
