float could be stuck, or the fuse could be blown, some cars show full,empty or half when there is no voltage (normaly a 10 amp fuse)

Could also be a bad sending unit.

Unfortunately this is located inside the gas tank and is part of the fuel pump assembly. See "Related Questions" below for more

Why does your gas gauge read backwards?

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.
