So it is possible to get the sender turned so that the float makes contact with the side of the tank and gets stuck there. I would check that first.
Also, with my stock sending unit, the float would make contact with the floor of the tank. This means I would always run out of gas with an eighth of a tank still showing on the fuel gauge. The float should NEVER touch the bottom of the tank, so make sure you check that too.
