Default Nasty pro touring fuel gauge sending unit issue?

I recently installed the nasty performance pro touring tank in my 02 Fbody got it all hooked up and as of now I'm having an issue with the Fbody gas gauge sending unit located in the nasty tank.

I'm getting a reading out of it of 125 ohm and my gauge says 1/4 tank. However the tank has 10 gallons in it and the total capacity of the tank is 14 so it shouldn't read that.

Any help or ideas? Does my PCM need to be calibrated for the change?

Thanks!

What year is the car and what sender did they install in the tank?

I'm having the same issues with one of Nasty Performance's pro touring tanks in a customers 98' WS6 T/A. It's supposed to be 14 gal tank but actually holds 10 gal upon full fill up. I don't think Nasty Performance actually builds the tanks - they're just a distributor / dealer for them from Behind Bars Race Cars. None the less the fuel gauge reads incorrect. I'm in the process of swapping out the factory instrument cluster for a full set of AutoMeter gauges.
i've had allot of issues with this tank, didn't fit right, had to modify parts of the factory floor to even get it to install, improper fuel readings and issues with the venting. Took some time making several calls to BBRC to sort thru some of the venting issues.

Glad I'm not the only one.
