So out of dash the fuel gauge is earthing via the sender unit in tank so working correctly but when in dash its earthing not via the sender so wrong reading is that what you mean?
So is the gauge terminal that goes to the sender shorting to the gauge body, so earthing via the speedo to car body when its refitted. Can you check continuity from the gauge sender terminal to the speedo housing if you have a meter.

Yes Bill that is correct. I will check continuity as you suggest. Thanks
