Sounds like the sending unit in the gas tank. If you replaced the fuel pump, you probably bumped the float so it isn't reading.

Fuel Gauge on Dash is Broken & Sending Unit in Gas Tank needs to be Replaced!

in order to fix that you will probably have to take the front plastic shield off the dash in order to reach the gauge and then very gently move the needle back to the proper side of the peg. i do not recommend that you do this yourself unless you have some mechanical knowledge. this may or may not solve the problem but it is a simple place to start

Sounds like there is a fuel tank transmitter problem. The only way to correct that is to replace the transmitter.
