 ready to remove the sending unit.  Can't find a wrench that fits tight, so
 go with the closest....but it won't budge. And of course the DPO has already
 rounded off the nut...SOOOO what now?
 
 Can it take heat from a propane torch without busting? Do I break out the
 vise grips and tear it all to hell? >>

You might try one of the new Vise Grips that is designed specifically to 
clamp on a nut.  (Ouch!)  It has a large "V" shape to the jaws and grabs 
three sides really well.  Won't chew up the sender or nut or bolt like 
regular Vise Grips.
