Welcome to Stovebolt.com

You might want to post this question in the electrical forum.

Most likely the gauge is good and you have a bad ground at the sender/tank.

Mine never changed either on my 66 C10. I pulled the sender from the tank and there was a broken wire inside the tank. The replacement sender is about 50 bucks.

I have replaced both the sender and the gauge and still the gauge reads full. Iam guessing a ground problem?

terry - check continuity of the wire between the gauge and sender, could be an open circuit .... and welcome to the shop wink
