When I put a good ground on the fuse panel tab it goes to empty. When I connect the sending wire back up it goes to 1/4 tank. Any body have and suggestions on what’s going on? Thanks

GM tanks are 0-90 Ohm resistance. When you ground the wire for the tank unit, the gauge should read empty. At 90 ohms, the gauge will read full. Disconnected, that is infinite resistance, so the gauge should max out past full. I would test the tank unit to verify resistance values.
