most of the time it's the sender itself. sometimes you can find a short in the wiring from the tank. In my instance I had a bad PCM. Everything worked great but my fuel gauge read zero, swapped the PCM and it works great now lol. But yeah, try replacing the sender, sorry you've gotta drop your tank again!

Do you know which wires are for the fuel sender on the pcm so I can check them.
