[C320-list] Fuel gauge sender ground

[mike hunter]

Thank you Chris for your response.  You are correct; there isn’t a second (ground) wire.  Whereabouts on the engine is the ground typically connected to?  How is the ground wire routed to the aft section of the boat? 
 
Thanks!

Tank and fill are usually grounded to the engine. Look for another wire at
both places, if you don't find it....that may be your problem.
