Chris,
your gas gauge is in reality a volt meter that says E & F rather than 0 & 12. Your sending unit is a rheostat that varies the resistance to ground. If I was to guess, your sending unit return to the gas gauge is shorted to ground causing the gauge to read full!

Sorry, that's all I got for you. Surely someone will know just what's wrong with your neutral indicator.
Don't be ridiculous! It's only a flesh wound!
