    Thats a new one

    I'd replace the gauge or try adjusting it (needs to come out of the cluster).

    Where does it read when accually full?

    It's possible that the fuel float is simply bent, and is sending an incorrect voltage. It's easy to bend float levers when replacing a fuel pump, and it sounds like you're running an after market pump
