I had to have the fuel pump replaced and since then the fuel gauge hasnt been working. What all could be the problem and how can it be fixed?

The float gauge is mounted on the fuel pump. Either something wasn't wired correctly, or the gauge float is stuck.

Before doing anything, check fuses to make sure nothing is blown. If all is good, you are going to need to remove the fuel tank and pump again to check for problems.
