All of this is assuming the range of measurement is there. There are some posts here or CF (check Cliff's solutions) on how to measure resistance. I'm also a K.I.S.S. follower, & would slightly bend it (float) up if the sender has been removed lately.

Yep, I can see how that could happen from your explanation. And agree on your fix (KISS). That is probably how it got goofed up in the first place...that a service tech bent it. I know from the Carfax that it was at the dealer for a no start after it sat for a couple of years.

I haven't myself ever worked on a fuel sender, so I am learning.
