I'm not the expert here..... I belive the guage works via resistance. The wire from the sending unit sends a signal that is resisted to ground. You should be able to remove that wire from the guage and it goes to empty. By grounding the wire that leaves the guage.....the guage should peg full/ maybe your wire is shorted to ground on the wat to the tank.
