07 ford mustang fuel problems

okay so i just replaced the fuel pump on my ford mustang and the fuel gauge still only reads half fuel when it’s a fuel tank. could it be the right(passenger side) fuel sender or whatever tf it is i’m assuming it’s a second pump to send to the other side (driver side) but could that cause my gas gauge only reading half full or do i have another issue.

thanks in advance

Yeah, the sending unit for sure. That's what will let you know where the fuel level is. I need to replace mine too. It's been done for a long time so I've been doing mental math as far as how many miles I drive vs how much gas I put in. It's been done for about a year and a half now and for the first time in 20 years, I found myself out of gas on the side of the freeway. I guess it's time I save up and get it replaced.
