fuel issues...

[Bagoftrix]

Got my vette back from the dealership. They had to bleed the fuel lines and put in a new fuel pump and a valve ( they haven't told me yet which valve). Runs a whole lot better!!! Problem now is the fuel gauge reads reserve but I go and put fuel in and it only takes around 8 gallons. Any ideas???

Several possibilities

The pump pick-up and fuel level sender assembly was damaged during installation.

The assembly is the wrong part and the fuel level sender float is hanging up on the inside of the tank. Also, possible is that the fuel tank is dented and that's hanging up the sender float.

The wiring harness connection at the tank is faulty or the wiring running down to the tank sender is faulty
