Ed, checked everything now and find no anomalies. Replaced the tank with a new one, level sensor built in tank. Also tried reversing the wire leads to the sensor. Same problem, this did not cure the light on problem. Light comes on steady after temp needle is almost to the light and engine revved past 3000 rpm, then stay on. Let engine cool and light will stay off until temp needle get up near the light and engine revved up.
