Check for voltage going to the fuel pump and check the grounds for the fuel
pump and gauge. Grounds are very important and at this age they start to
fail from corrosion.

7 gallons should be enough to put the gauge at least at 1/2 tank.
Have you been having problems with the gauge?

How did you determine the fuel pump was good if there’s no fuel at the
filter?

On the surface this sounds like a fuel pump issue, so you’re going to
want to be absolutely certain the fuel pump is operating properly
before moving on to other potential problems.
