Had exactly this problem a couple of days ago. With half a tank of diesel the reserve light was on, or flickering on and off.

Rather than stretch the existing copper wire - which had snapped near the top solder connection, I replaced it using a piece of 30 SWG magnet wire that I had lying around. But any regular copper wire of similar gauge will work.

Took about 15 minutes to fix.
