If your fuel pump is an in tank one then you have probably got the float stuck when you put it in the tank.
Let me know if this is the prob.

I have a 03 Camry the gauges are all working but the gas gauge reads full all the time is there a separate fuse for the gas gauge ? How can I fix this problem?

The sending unit is on the fuel pump and could be stuck in the full position. There is no separate fuse for the gas gauge. I think you will need to check the wiring from the fuel pump where you can for breaks, cracks in the insulation and also, check the ground. If that looks ok, pull the fuel pump.

Fuel gage stuck at half full

Hi,
Check both the gas float and the fuel gauge. The terminal wire on the fuel float when grounded on the bare metal body of your car it will register on your gauge as "FULL ", if not the fuel gauge is malfunctioning and have to replace. When it register to your gauge as "FULL", the problem would be the gas float inside the fuel tank.
A technician could replace it for you.
Hope that helps you out.
Thanks for asking FixYa!

We have 99 Durango that will shut down while driving, fuel gage will show empty when tank is full.

It sounds like your fule pump is going out, this would explain the no gas on your gauge. You need to replace the fule pump assembly, this will come with a new fule level sensor as well. Hope this helped, if you need some tips on removing the fule pump just let me know.

Fule guge

HI, you will need to replace the sending unit that is located inside the tank. this unit is part of the fuel pump assembly and it sends the level of the fuel to the gauge, via wire transfer. there is a floater that is attached to the pump assembly, and it is damaged. replacing this sending unit will fix this issue.

Fuel Guage registering improperly!

remove float assembly and reposition it facing the oposite direction. Sometimes the float installation positioning makes a difference on how the fuel gage reads.
