Re: fuel sender ground
if you cant use the chassis or engine, what left? I think they want you to get a ground as close to the source, battery, as you can to eliminate any extra resistance in the circuit.

Re: fuel sender ground
any ground will work, the issue is resistance. The further the connection is from the source, the more the resistance, so you may has a slight change is gauge performance, but i dont know how much it may be unnoticeable.
