I would say fuel sending unit in the tank or bad motor in cluster for the fuel gauge.

If you were just in the tank I would say there is an issue with the sender. Maybe you bent it on install.

If not, I repair the clusters or can sell you the cluster motor.

I just went in thru the rear seat and rechecked the fuel pump that was recently installed. I saw no visual defects. I then went in thru the trunk and removed the first round thing with the three electrical conectors. I did notice that if i disconnected one of the conectors that the fuel guage would read to the bottom of the scale. This may not have proven anything. I have not been to work in over a year so I need the cheap quick fix to my problem. I also undid the fuel bypass DIY thing. Any suggestion, help. Everything worked perfect before I did the fuel pump replacement and fuel bypass. I was hoping there was a quick fix like check a certain fuse.
