could be three reasons:

a) The gauge is broken
b) the electric wire to the signal sender has a ground negativ contact
c) the sender in petrol tank is broken

Most of the time the sender in petrol tank or electric contacts
are the reason for disfunktion...
Cheers

i had the problem that the contact inside the was stuck of rust. Remove it from the fuel tank and if so, grase it with WD-40. That is how i did it.

best,
Guido

Ahh, what do you mean by "B"? should the sender unit have a negative earth from the fuel tank? what is the wire that clips on to the front? is that positive or negative?
