See HERE and HERE

Of course it probably depends on which sender unit you have.

Found this

This is from the Smiths Gauges web site:

a typical European standard would be 10 ohms at empty and 180 ohms at full for a fuel gauge/sender combination.


So you need to bend the operating arm to suit the position which gives those resistance readings which will be within the full range of sweep.

The gauge should read empty / full at 10 / 180 ohms
