Well, if you made the panel, perhaps you are using a gauge intended for a fuel tank that you don't have on the aircraft.  A little more information (aircraft type, number of fuel tanks, etc) might help.  But try switching to a multiple fuel gauge and see if any of the tanks read out.  If so, find a gauge that reads off the same tank.

Some gauges specify which tanks refer to them by adding an indicator in the appropriate line of the panel.cfg file.

e.g. for the FS2000 Concorde fuel gauge panel:

gauge00=Concorde!Fuel-Quantity,55,1,64,64,Front
gauge01=Concorde!Fuel-Quantity,1,55,64,64,Left
gauge02=Concorde!Fuel-Quantity,109,55,64,64,Right
gauge03=Concorde!Fuel-Quantity,55,109,64,64,Back
