Fuel sending unit wiring question

[bwilhite1]

My 86 K10 only feeds from the right tank, so I dropped the left tank to drain it, replace the sending unit, and inspect it to begin trouble shooting. When I lowered the tank, this is what I've got for wiring. Having not done this before, I wasn't sure if it's supposed to be like this.

In the picture, the wire with the blue arrow (pink/white) is powering the sending unit and the two red-circled wires were plugged together. I did consult a wiring diagram from another forum and the wire powering the sending unit, is supposed to be pink/white. The tanks indicate normally, so I'm assuming it's OK, but just wanted to check with the experts here (looking at you, Chengny) before buttoning everything back up.

Thanks!

Yes that looks okay. It is really supposed to go:

1. Pink from the dash to the female connector circled in red

2. The pink with the male connector (circled in red) is just an extension cord that is long enough to run over to the tank switching valve

3. Then, two wires come out from the Pollak valve and go to their respective senders (PNK/BLK to the auxiliary tank and PNK/WHT to the production tank). They switch along with the plumbing when the dash button is pressed:

Thanks. I couldn't tell if this had been altered or not. It works fine, so I'm going to leave it.

That's it!
