Hi everyone, driving home yesterday, I went round a tight corner and the fuel gauge has shot up past the full mark and stayed there.Turned off van when I got home and needle went all the way back down, when I switched ignition on needle shot up past full again ,I'm thinking the float has stuck in the tank? Thanks for your help guys.

I'm thinking the float has stuck in the tank?

Wrong

You've been given free petrol from up above you now have a full tank forever more !

Looks likely that you have a dead short to earth there. Guage reads full at 0 ohms. Look for a trapped or chafed wire. Disconnect sender at the tank - if it still reads full it's the wiring.
