YJ Fuel gauge always reads Full.
Its a 90 YJ with the 4.2L
I have checked the gauge with another cluster that I know works, still dose the same. I have checked the sending unit with another one and still the same thing. I have made sure and bent out the contact point in the sending unit. I am at a loss.

In addition to the sending unit I would consider that a common mod for YJs is to take out the filler neck portion thingy to gain an extra 5 gallons of fuel. Someone could have done this and botched something. Usually it just makes the gauge read a little lower than it actually is. How much fuel are you getting in there?
Sounds like a grounding issue.

...There can be no divided allegiance here. Any man who says he is an American, but something else also, isn't an American at all. We have room for but one flag, the American flag... We have room for but one language here, and that is the English language... and we have room for but one sole loyalty and that is a loyalty to the American people.'

in my experiance a bad gage tends to read full or completely in accurate but a bad ground will read empty try using a known good ground sand see if it moves any....then you got a starting point
