    It could be that the lever in the tank is stuck or an issue in the dashboard.

    When you disconnect the sending unit for a while, I'll bet it doesn't read empty.

    The only gas gage I worked on had a gizmo under the dash that pulsed a voltage which was converted to a current and measured by the gage. The gage was oil damped, so it didn't see the pulses. The method kept power dissapation to a minimum.
