help: 1999 drifter 1500 gas gauge not working?

[Mr Bill]

This may or may not help...when I took my Drifter apart for paint and put it back together the gas gauge stopped working.  I initially put about 1/2 tank of gas in but the needle didn't move from E.  The next time I filled up the tank completely the gauge started working again.  Just a thought...not sure if yours stopped working out of the blue or if you had some things taken apart first.  Good luck.
