as long as what your screwing it into is grounded (like the pump) yes. Mine's screwed into the side of my pressure regulator and works great. If it's not grounded you can attach a wire to the sending unit.

I've heard the vibrations from the motor and injection pump will ruin the sender. A lot of guys run a grease gun hose from the banjo bolt and mount the sender on the frame.

I heard the same thing so when I put in my electric sender I placed it on 24" of hose and mounted it up by the firewall. It's been going strong for 4 years now and 75k miles.
