(13mm bolt I think)

Didnt he say that the needle stayed in one place for some time?.. but wouldnt a lose or bad ground make the needle jump? Doesn't seem it would stay still...Or would it
The fuel tank needs to be well grounded as well, obviously.

One should pull the sender and the gauge and check the wireing itself per the FSM, it's pretty simple.
