Earth out the sender plug, if the gauge goes all the way up then the gauge is not at fault, it's the sender.

Yeah sounds like a wiring fault somewhere along the line, do you have a workshop manual? I'll see if theres any info about it in my workshop manual.

I have had several problems with the connector on the fuel sender being faulty.As in the contacts were very dirty and in one case the wire was brown from heat.Something to look at if you are having problems.You could also check the resistance of the wires going to the senders etc with a multimeter to make sure of no open circuit wires.Cheers Kevman.
