How do you test the fuel sending unit to see if it is bad or the dash gauge is bad?
On most American made cars you can test the sending unit by removing the wire attached to the sending unit at the tank and ground or touch to the tank itself. If the needle on the gauge goes to full, the sending unit is registering properly. If it does not move it could also indicate the wire has been severed between the tank and the guage.
The temperature needle does not want to move?
The temperature gauge sending unit might be bad. To check it find the sending unit on the side of the engine block (on most models) and pull the wire off and ground it with a piece of wire and have someone look at the gauge to see if it moves.

Your problem is not a fuse. There is not a fuse that controls that one gage. Check the temperature sending unit. 99% thermostat if you want to get a used sending unit from the wrecker
