If the guage is pegged full either the wire going to the sending unit is shorted to ground, bypassing the float's resistance... or the sending unit is messed up.

actually now looking at my manual the guage is full at 88ohms and empty at 1.1 ohms so shorting it to ground it would read empty sry .. perhaps a bad ground
