I would choose Ti-6Al-4V over 7075 aluminum rod only for fatigue strength. The fatigue strength of titanium is close to steel's fatigue strength, and a little over 3 times the fatigue strength of 7075 aluminum. But at $4500 for a set of rods, you can replace 4 sets of Aluminum rods and still...
Figured I'd make a drawing to make it easy. I used a multimeter to confirm these connections were correct and when connected in this manner, the OHM readings match factory numbers. My tank is empty and it is reading 108. There are more connectors these wires go through on the way to the gauge...
