Broken fuel gauge problem causes:
1. bad sending unit in the gas tank.
2. bad gauge in the dash
3. wiring problems between the sender and the dash
4. bad ground(s)
5. blown fuse

You may first want to check connection of harness to tank, if this is not the problem,replace the sending unit in the fuel tank.This is where the fuel is actually measured and while you are at it since this vehicle is more than 20 years old. Replace the intank fuel pump and screen.

Bad fuel sensor.
Unplugged wires at the tank.
Broken wire in the harness.
Bad gage.
Bring it by the shop Monday morning, and I'll take a look.

its probably the sending unit in fuel tank, your truck is old and you figure this part is in gas 24/7 so.........
or your instrument cluster...
go to a junk yard and get a used gas tank, way easier than replacing that part..any more ?? just ask.

If it stays on empty, the sending unit has a float, and it probably has fuel in it so it show empty.

It is most likely the sending unit... however could also be your dash wiring or a dirty ground somewhere.
