The gauge has been checked twice and pronounced OK. Today I bypassed the tank-sender wire with a jumper, same result—reading full. I removed the sender and bench tested the resistance and got 2 ohms with the float fully down and around 70 ohms with the float lifted to approximately where it would be in a full tank. From what I can find online this is in range. So I’m stumped as to why the gauge is reading full.
