Actually on second thought, remembering the angle of the sending arm, not
sure if the float would hit the bottom, better look for that wrench, or
possibly the sending arm has lost the float, but this would also show you an
empty tank all the time.

The float probably has fuel in it. Popular problem, float sinks, bangs
around. The floats at NAPA fit, but they won't sell it loose. I saw a
thread about how to fix, but boiling a gasoline impregnated float to me is
on the same level as gas tank welding. I don't know if the parts houses
sell just a float. I bought the NAPA sending unit, fits, but gauge is off.
Sloshing the car around tells me when to fill, along with resetting the trip
each fill up....don't do it.
If not this ....do you remember that that 9/16ths wrench you were looking
for, it fell in the tank and is slowly making its way out, one clunk at a
time :-)
