Even with a properly vented gas tank you will get condensation, especially in the winter. That's why they say to try to keep the tank full to prevent this. Also 30+ years of crud and corrosion may be the reason you gas gauge dosent work. The sender is probabaly bad. I have that problem with the new Hornet, but have a NOS sender that I have to install.
