300TD wagon fuel guage dead

my 81 300TD wagon has a dead fuel guage. I replaced the guage and still nothing. I put more fuel in and nothing happened. It does not move, the reserve light does not come on. Does this sound like a fuel sender problem? if not the guage or sender, what else should I try?

Sounds like a sender to me! Pull it out, clean it, and test it with a multimeter. If its obvious what the problem was (gummed in place, for instance), then reinstall and try again. Otherwise replace it and see what happens.

peace,
sam
