Steve,
I calibrated my senders by the boiling water method (used the wife's electric tea pot, but don't tell her). I also had a lab grade thermometer in the water to get some additional data points. Since the BMA EFIS requires two-wire sensors, engine grounding didn't matter. You could run a temporary ground wire from the sender body to the engine ground.
