Re: testing a fuel tank sender unit off the car Xmas wrote: Couldn't you just connect it to the fuel sender wiring and an earth on a 2cv and see if moving it makes the gauge work correctly?  Or is that just silly? Yes that's how I test them but first apply a wire between earth and the green wire/yellow sleeve running back to the indicator to make sure it show full tank. Then stick the sender unit on the wire and move the float from empty to full.
