Most likely it is the sending unit in the tank. Common problem with the ol'BII's.

You can test the gauge itself by grounding the sending unit wire, it should peg the gauge to "full".
If it does go to "full" when you do so, then yup you either gotta bad sending unit or a bad ground to the tank itself.
