Why does the gas gauge on your Dodge van read almost empty when it is full of gas?

Factor(s):
1- "Possible" bad fuel indicator/gauge/gage.
2- "Possible" break in the fuel signal wiring between the indicator and the sending unit.
3- Possible" defective sending unit located inside the fuel tank ( normally, fuel pump and sending unit are into single unit assembly).
4- Or, YOU thought you filled the tank but it's actually empty?! -Just kidding!
