If your fuel gauge needle seems to be below the empty side pin, it is probably not the sender, but the gauge itself that has the problem.
This is a very common problem with these cars when the battery is either discharged or disconnected.
If that is the case, there are a couple different ways you can repair it at little or no cost.
If the fuel gauge is bouncing around (from "empty light on" to full), especially when it gets below 1/4 tank, it probably is the sender in the tank.
Write back with more details of the fuel gauge problem. I may be able to help.
