Check the wires the whole length. I had a Tree rat or a chipmunk chew up some wires on my truck and got the gage wire. They also got the return fuel line. /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

I had that same problem. Does it stop at about half way? If it does regardless of amount of gas, Theres a pan inside the tank that came loose causing the sender to jam up against the said pan. Just a possibility but like posted before me, Id check the wiring first before dropping the tank especially if its full.. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif
