Thank you all for the tips and advise. I think the problem is fixed.
Last night I did clean the plug contacts real well with lacker thinner
and using a q-tip with partially remover cotton, was able to clean out the inside of plug holes. Also, removed the sending unit and took it apart to make sure the float was free and every thing looked right inside the tube. Oh, and I did disconnect the bat first.
Put everything back together and went to fill it up and viola...the needle jumper to full and it took 17 gallons. While the sending unit was out I shined a light in the tank and saw that there was about a quarter of a tank and the guage was reading a quarter of a tank (or normal). I did notice that the gas filler tube on the car gets airbound and gas comes up to shut off the gas pump. This happened several times at the gas pump.I am certain this was not happening before because I saw gas at top of filler tube on gas tank and tried 2 time to put more gas in and could not. And the tank read half full. So whatever I did, seemed to work...not quite sure what worked but suspect the contacts on the plug may have been dirty??
Thanks again everyone.
