A gas gauge that appears to read backwards typically indicates that the gauge is calibrated incorrectly or that there is a malfunction in the fuel level sensor. In some vehicles, the gauge may show empty when there is fuel in the tank or vice versa, leading to confusion. This issue can arise from wiring problems, a faulty sensor, or even a software glitch in modern vehicles. It's advisable to have the gauge checked by a professional to ensure accurate readings.
I would assume that the wires are hooked up backwards

It would be better to write: My gas gauge reads empty. Note that 'gauge' is singular, so it needs the singular verb, reads. If you had several cars all with gas gauges that read empty, then the verb would be read.
The gas gauge on the truck read 70 miles per hour.

Some gas gauges read overfull when you fill the gas tank because the needle goes past the full mark on the gauge. A bad sending unit,bad level sender, or stepping motor may be the cause of the gas gauge not working properly.
Your gauge could be bad but sometimes the floats in the gas tank get holes in them and fill with gas. this causes the float to stay at the bottom and your gauge to read empty. U might also check the wiring from the sender at the fuel tank to the gas gauge itself.
why won't my gas gauge work all the time.it will read full when i fill it but after that as i drive i am not sure how much gas is in the tank
I am willing to bet that you have had someting inside your gas tank or dash worked on recently. The issue is that the plug for your sending unit is on backwards or the wires to your gauge are reversed.

no power at the sending unit.
No, you installing a fuel pump has nothing to do with the fuel gauge
