On my later-type senders there is a normal-sized spade for the green/blue
that goes to the gauge and a smaller spade for the ground connection. I am
not familiar with the early senders except that they are held in with screws
instead of a locking ring and the diagram does shows a dedicated ground
connection and not a ground path. I presume you have two wires - if the
ground wire has a tag with a hole in it then I would expect it to go under
one of the screws that secures the transmitter to the tank.
