Fuel senders are pretty much straight forward

sender wire goes straight to part on the rear of the gauge..

if it doesn't work.. try an earth wire [especially If You have had the tank out or painted...] to one of the screws holding the sender in.

Most likely part to fail is the sender...
it is wearing all the time the car is moving...

see if i can find a type 3 wiring diagram -- Here :

vintagebus.com
go to wiring diagrams then go down the list of buses, beetles, karmann ghias, type 3.. 1972

Now USA VWs usually have a different wiring diagram to other countries but the fuel gauge should be the same..

cheers
