yes,
Consult your electric diagrams, two of the terminals on the sender will give varying resistance readings depending upon the float position in the sender. Connect your voltmeter set to ohms. If you hold the sender upright, the float should be at the bottom (i.e empty tank). If you turn it upside down, the float should to the "top" (i.e. full tank)
you should see varying resistance levels in the range of 5 to 75 ohms (that was the range on my sender). Do a search here for a previous thread because it seems that different people were reporting different ranges
I would think that the key is that you can read a fairly wide range of resistance levels. If you don't, then your float is probably stuck and you will need to take it a part and clean it. There is an article on Pelican to describes how to do this.
good luck
