I bought a used fuel tank at pamona last weekend.
I need to test the sending unit to see if it works.
I dont have a fuel gage, so i cant just hook it up.
Any ideas?
Thanks

here is the sending unit...

Check it with an ohm meter. Should have one resistance when empty, and a different when full. I do not know what the resistances will be off the top of my head.

around 73 ohms empty
around 10 ohms full

This is where analog meters are nice. if you get smooth meter movement throughout the range, chances are it's a good sender.
