I’m betting on the fuel sender unit itself cracked when you re-installed it. Very common if you're not VERY careful. Especially with a new tank as those fingers that engage the fuel sender are usually not in the right place to allow the sender to go in easily so folks force the sender into place cracking the plastic, which you will not see, but the gas WILL find the crack !

Please note that I will be away from my business travelling from November 16 until April 30, 2016. Parts orders will be processed although not as quickly as usual. I will always be available for contact by E-mail. If you phone your call will be addressed by Steven and he will either call you back or advise you to contact me directly by E-mail.
