Check into the CORSA tech guide - first edition... 1986....under the 
electrical and speedo section - Page 10.  The article is by Mike Meissner 
which provides trouble shooting methods.

    My 67 is showing empty all time at the fuel gauge (tank full) so, I 
checked and cleaned the sending wire and ground wire below the tank; took 
off the Corsa dash to check wiring at the gauge and all is ok. Applied 12 V. 
to the gauge with sending wire unplugged and showed past full. Have just a 
concern to check before taking off the sending unit to replace the 
"floater".
    When the sending unit is at 0 ohms, do this correspond to full or empty 
? If it is empty, then the "floater" went drawn (full of fuel).

    Thanks a lot for your answers
