Its worth popping the fuel pump assembly out of the tank (not hard to do) and checking the float on the level sender is free to move and not fouling on any of the pickup pipes.

Fuel senders I've come across in the past have just one 'earth' to it. If you ground this you should read 'FULL' on the gauge. A lot easier to do as a first test than remove the float/sender unit. If you don't get a full deflection then it's your gauge that's fubar'd.

Clean it up and slap some grease on it to stop it getting any worse....
