I am trying to debug a faulty fuel guage/sender.
Symptoms are:

1.  Turn on key, guage climbs slowly to E
2.  Disconnect wire at sender, guage returns below E
3.  Earth wire from guage at sender end, guage 
    climbs to F.

My guess is that I have a faulty sender or float.
Is this a correct diagnosis??

Haynes manual sez that a disconnected lead causes false
F reading, while grounded lead results in false E reading.
This seems backwards.  Which is right?

Help!
