Welcome to the org! Some guys say hit the tank to knock the float free. Never works for me. I think if the sending unit in the is has a bad ground the gauge always shows full.

Get a big rubber mallet and start wacking the side of the tank as hard as you can. This will usually free the float, if not drop the tank and fix as needed.
