Again thanks for the quick replies, I did have to change the fuel pump a few years ago and did see that the wires had been getting hot but all had been fine till recently.
Rodents are an issue where I live but I looked all along the run I could and found no issues. I haven't had the dash out as yet incase they have got in that area but the fuel gauge is the only one not working correctly.
I think I am coming to the conclusion it is the in tank wiring or the float/sender itselfso will try wiggling the wires and a rubber mallet before dropping the tank yet again.
