Wiring to BE fuel tank sending unit

[Whitephrog]

My wiring harness has a green wire with a wire nipple on the end that is supposed to feed the fuel tank sending unit. It only sticks out the grommet in the boot floor about an inch or so. I found an old sending unit with a ratty looking wire sheathed in a black plastic tubing. That old ratty wire is about eighteen inches long. The dumb question of the night ... Is that piece of wire properly configured available anywhere or do I just get some proper gauge green wire, some black tubing, etc and do it that way myself?

There was a bullet connector just under the boot floor where the tank wire goes, from there it went to the tank sender. I guess so you could unplug it with out dropping the tank.
The wire should be green with a black stripe.

The tank and sending unit are new and uninstalled. I have the green wire with the black stripe and bullet connector sticking out of the underside of the boot floor. What I need to know is the proper wiring configuration from there to the sending unit.

Any old 12 guage wire will do. Make sure the ends are connected well.

Yes that sounds great to me .The extra plastic conduit will provide additional isolation from physical damage and for a lightly loaded circuit like this a 16 or 18 gauge wire will be quite adequate.--FWIW--Keoke
