If the gauge still reads over full when the wire is grounded then you have a wiring,valve or switch problem. If the gauge reads ok on the other tank then the gauge and wiring to the switch from the gauge should be ok. It is just a matter of separating the system to narrow down the fault.

That's my test #2.
Ground the tank to the frame first.
If the tank ground is bad it'll read at 3:00 with a brand new sender.
