Doug, I don't quite follow this logic.  Unless a tank is completely 
void of all gas *and all gas fumes* an empty tank is as dangerous as 
one with fuel in it.  The sender goes into the top so it can be 
removed without draining the tank regardless of how much gas the tank 
contains.

Grant, I would suggest that before you pull the sender you should 
clean all the pertinent electrical connections, especially the one 
that goes to the sender.  If it still reads the same way then maybe 
it's the float on the sender.
