    Gas leak at sending unit

    I believe it'll hit the rear axle pumpkin if I'm not mistaken, you can jack the car up from the frame, lift until frame is high enough from axle to let the sender clear out, just make sure you place some jack stands for safety.

    Gas gauge off by 1/4

    I am sorry, I reinstalled it that same day, but basically on that open middle space where you put wire at has a small copper looking cylinder shaped metal. I'll probably take it out once I get some jack stands and take pictures of it for you, after all I'm a grease monkey, it's fun lol
