I've had the same thing happen to me accept for the fuel sending problem.
1. the brake light switch causes the lights to go off and on when not making good contact, $5.00 part easy to replace(for a contorsionist), this fixed the flickering lights on my car.
2. the wireing to the altinator has a fray or partial loss of contact, that's the reason for the alt. light, found 2 on my alt. harness after rebuilding the engine, repaired them no more problems.
3. the fuel sending unit is grounded to the tank which is grounded to the frame, if you coated the outside of the tank this might be your problem with its loss of contact?
