look in auto manual to locate trouble shooting section of car manual, and look up instructions and steps toward finding and fixing problem, or you can always do as i would do and find location of auto fuse panel box and check for a blown fuse, under print instrument lights or gauges, because more than likely it is a fuse that needs replacing.
You need to determine if it is in the gauge or tank sending unit. Remove the tank unit wire, and ground it. Gauge should go to full. If not, then gauge bad. If yes, then tank unit or tank ground is bad. It is basically a wound variable resistor, and the wire often breaks. If you have trouble getting a new one, you can rewind an old one if you are desperate. You can't easily use a voltmeter to trouble shoot because the fuel gauge system uses an oscillator to convert to AC so that there is less chance of spark ignition.
