IMHO, the problem is at least as likely to be a failed "stepper motor" in the gauge cluster.
The sender works just like they have since the dawn of the electric gas gauge... the resistance between it's terminal and chassis ground varies as the float rises and falls.
I do NOT have exact resistance values at hand, but if you can disconnect harness from the fuel module and figure out which is the sender wire, and turn the ign swiutch "ON", and look at the gauge, then GROUND the sensor wire at the body-to-fuelsender connector, "OPEN" the gauge should move to either "E" or "F" and when you ground it, go to the opposite extreme.
If it works like that, it's pretty likely the sender has failed.
If the gauge does NOT swing, there's a stepper motor, electronics, or wiring issue.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
