Ground the wire (at the sending unit) that goes to the gauge. No need to disconnect, just use a jumper from a known good ground. That duplicates the full signal from the sending unit. The gauge should read full. If if stays empty, the gauge and/or wiring has an issue.
Note: This test does not eliminate the sending unit issues but with troubleshooting, you have to start somewhere.
