Why aren't I laughing?

I have had trouble with the fuel gauge not registering. I was advised to connected the feed to earth and - bingo - full fuel. Therefore the sender must have failed?
New sender fitted - nothing. Low fuel light on even though it has at least 2 gallons in there.
Both senders work fine - outside the fuel tank. Neither work when fitted.
The only possibility that I can think of is that the senders are the wrong length and are physically touching the opposite side of the tank and being held down - hence the low fuel warning.
But both fuel senders are the same (I think?) and I distinctly remember the gauge initially reading half full and then filling the tank to the max.
Now there's a funny thing!
