Splice a rheostat into the line and slowly turn it lower (higher resistance) whilst driving.

-or- See if you can find the wire harness leading to the tank... probably a connector you can unhook. The Fuel pump wont run either... but see if the gauge still shows full.

Cheers.

It's either a stuck sender float in the tank, or a short in the sender wire. Pull the sender connection at the tank; if the gouge goes down, it's the sender float. If the gauge stays up, there's a break in the sender wire, shorting to body ground.
