If the gauge reads zero after unplugging the sender, the sender is faulty. If you only read 5 Bars with the engine running (KOEO)it could still be a gauge or sending unit failure (wiring is less likely). The other possibility is a mechanical issue such as a failed bypass valve.
Tried this sender unpluged KOEO still pegged.

Where should I be looking next?
