From the colors you described it looks like you have the early style. If you look on the lists of early, mid, and late you'll notice the mid and late have no yellow wire.
Mark.

It is early (2 connectors) but only the late ones (half round connector) don't have the yellow wire.

If you mean the stock fuel sender switch in a stock configuration then no. It doesn't get 12V. If you are using it for something else you need to tell us what that is before asking this question.

Ok. As long as the 12V source is fused it will be fine. Here is a diagram for the switch wiring.

yellow i have hooked to wiper-radio power
red hooked to ACC ignition post

if this helps

 

[Viperwolf1]

It's probably using the yellow wire to power the unit (most current through here) and the red wire is just used to sense when the ignition switch is on. It won't hurt to have a fuse on the red wire though. It can be very small like 1 amp.

Possible bad ground at cluster/IVR. Oil pressure should show similar symptoms.
