chk the tank unit ground connection

unplug the tank tan lead, guage should go full

 ^^^^... and if so, you know the gauge and wiring to the sender are ok! The issue may be a stuck or faulty sending unit........

 Generally they work from a 0-90 ohm resistance.

Hey guys, I hope someone can help me out. I have just got the dash back from the shop that wired it for me, I put the dash in, connected everything and the it starts with the key but I dont show the gas gauge moving away from empty. I know the new fuel tank is at least 1/2 full and the sending unit in the tank and the tank are brand new. I am going to check the ground wire and make sure its getting a good ground but beyond that im kind of sctatching my head ???  Any ideas and trouble shooting tricks ??   

                                                                  Thanks Guys     Mylo

It was the ground wire, sanded the area it attaches to and the gauge worked fine, thanks guys.
