Fuel gauge

If the voltage regulater is bad will ANY of the gauges on the dash operate???
Fuel Gauge not working,I have pulled the orange wire from the fuel sending unit and checked for voltage/ nothing, I checked resistance on the sending unit and it is about 30 ohms which would be right because I think it is about half full... so voltage regulater on the instrament panel?? at some time in the past the second tank under the bed was removed although the selecter switch is still there.. another quick question, could someone tell me they layout of the fuse block??

There is a voltage regulator for the instruments located on back of the panel. I was lucky enough the local parts house had one. Just check all 4 fuses. The block is labeled, just have to look closely.
