<VV> Stumped by Gas Gauge

[ChiefTAM at aol.com]

OK, there is about 5 gallons in the tank, maybe now down to 4.  I  thought I 
remembered that if it was a ground issue, the tank would read empty,  and if 
it was a sending issue, the tank would read past full.  There was  some stuff 
on the float unit inside the tank, but it wasn't bad.  The tank  only had some 
really light surface rust in the upper part of the tank that was  not in the 
gas, so the float and sender wasn't really covered.  
 
I have a 12 volt test light, by placing the point inside the sender  end, 
with the key on, I should get a light, is that correct?   If I don't, that is 
ground?  
 
I will try some of these suggestions tomorrow and let everyone  know.  Thanks.
