VP 44 Gauge Port?

After seeing Barry's post there are these also. Pick the one that you think may work, drill and tap the pipe thread. Just another idea.

Another question. Are you positive it needs a ground as it may just be a switch that activates. Normally switches do not have grounds.

Well that's not good as far as my suggestion goes when I used that previously it worked fine but obviously your setup is different. Without a pic hard exactly to see the issue. However if you used the ring connector could you stack a couple of washers under it to take up the space of the unused threads. Or next option would be just run a hose from your fitting to another location a few inches or a few feet away and then you could do whatever you needed by using a different style fitting. If this fitting is right at the VP44 I can tell you that the VP44 pulses like crazy and has been known to beat senders to death. Many people used to use a hose like this or similar anyway

to get the sender further away from the pump and zip tie it some place off the engine to eliminate that vibration as well. I know I used to use a snubber and a needle valve together to help keep the potential pulsing damage down.
