Sending unit not sending...

[qwik1320]

Derek,
OK, I checked the tan wire that goes to the sending unit. I put a meter between the ground wire off the sending unit (disconnected from the chassis) and the tan wire (unplugged from the harness). I get about 5.6 ohms resistance. The tan wire is free from where it enter the trunk back to the sending unit and I visually inspected every bit I can see - I thought maybe it got pinched between the tank and trunk floor. I'm trying to see if the actual connection point for the tan wire to the sending unit (the brass stud with the rubber boot) is pinched...maybe that's the problem? Do you think it could be something that simple?
