It is highly likely that the fuel gauge is not working because the "sending unit" is not sending the fuel gauge information about fuel in the fuel tank. The "sending unit" is to be changed out at the the top of the gas tank (under the back seat). Accessing the unit should be done with the battery disconnected, unless blowing up your garage, home, your neighbors' houses, and, of course, yourself, is part of your plan. With the battery completely disconnected (I prefer to remove it for safety), you can unplug the electrical connector, unscrew the retaining screws, and pull out the fuel sending unit. The new one is inserted, screwed on, the electrical connector attached, the seat replaced, battery hooked up and ... WHOILA! The gas gauge is working, or, you are seeing satellite images of the space station. No. Seriously, the sending unit is the usual culprit in causing the gas gauge to not "read" properly, or even "read" at all. With some gas gauge failures, the sending unit tells the gas gauge that there is less fuel than there really is, and sometimes, the reverse, more fuel.
