The good news is I had already ordered (and have just received) a new sending unit, as the gauge hasn't worked from the start. All the wiring and whatnot checks out as far as that's concerned, so hopefully there's going to be a bit of killing 2 birds with 1 stone.

I don't plan on installing the sending unit though until the issue with the tank is sorted. Otherwise, knowing my luck I'll have to get yet another replacement far too soon.
If it isn't to bad you can always pull the tank and flush it. Then recheck. Main concern is loose rust from years water in the gas and condensation eating at the metal and gas itself. Had a tank that looked great, but after a hard flushing leaked like crazy. New tank was on the way and installed 6 days later. lol
