I got the sender from VDub Folks.I didn't cut a hole. I have the trans out
for rebuild and I knew I had a bad sender. It was a good time to pull and clean
the tank as well as the whole compartment.

I couldn't remember the exact price, but where did you find one for that
cheap? I couldn't remember exactly but I just looked up Wolfsburg West's
price. Lists for $65. But the point is not the cost but the difficulty of
replacing that darn thing. You didn't cut a hole in the Blue Bus to replace
that did you Chuck.

Yeah, but it's a simple fix. All you have to do is spend about $100 on a
new sender, remove the engine, remove the fuel tank, replace the sender, and
then replace all of the above. Only one hard days job. Or you can do what
some cheap VW mechanics do and simply cut a hole in the body above the fuel
sender and replace it that way. I hate it when the sender in a bus goes bad.
May be better to just wait till the next time you have the engine out and do it
then. Course if you have a DC or an SC then it's simple to get the tank out,
right Paul?

Did you check to see if the gage is grounded well.
If it's not the gage then I can see it being a couple of other things:
Is it a bay tank in a split? If so, did you replace the split sender
with a bay sender?
Could be that the sender is old and has built up crud in the tube
causing it to stick 3/4 up and thus not reading full on the gage.
