gauge not working doesn't seem to be getting any juice, I'm just nervous about connecting a hot wire and sending juice to gas tank and something bad happening,any advice would be welcome.

The only "hot" wire goes to the fuel gauge "hot" terminal on the back of the gauge. The wire on the other stud on the gauge goes to the sending unit in the tank. So you would literally have to attach those two wires together to send full power to the tank.
