The fuel sending unit most likely is shot.

I have a spare unit if you want it. Half hr to replace.

Remove back seat, pull off cover, remove ring harness and hose, pull pump, reverse the process.

I have had my pumps in and out more times than I like. The cluster is an expensive part, let's try the sending unit first.

Can test the sending unit with a meter.

No worries Paul, we will get it fixed.

I have a stock unit.

Can also be the stepper motor in the cluster. Removal of cluster is easy. The motor a little more involved. Not a big deal.
