I reckon I can clean these up while I wait on the tanks. I don't even know
if my dash gauges work, and there's no boost switch or tank select.
Remember, the dash was partly disassembled. I can post a video of that
later.

Anyway, assuming I dunk these in vinegar and otherwise clean them up. They
operate as a variable resistor, correct? Just put my ohm-meter on the two
wires and wiggle the float up and down and see what I get? Or is there more
to it?

I'm hoping that I don't have to buy brand new senders.
