Default getting mk3 escort fuel gauge to read correct with a mk4 efi tank

fitted efi tank to my mk3 car with mfi clocks and for some reason the gauge will read perfect all the way to full
but when the float is at empty it reads 1/4 i cannot remove the needle like you can on a mk4 otherwise i would,

could i install a resistor?
and yes ive tried different clocks

many thanks
