You might be able to narrow it down if you look at what the SID displays for DTE, and mileage.
The sending unit might be OK, but the float and lever which are what actually determines the level in the tank could be aligned badly. I have seen some posts which suggested that if the new fuel pump is not installed exactly according to the alingment marks, the float can touch the tank and bind.
Aside from that, it sounds like there could be a short. Those are hard to find. Most often, a persona will check the wiring continuity using a Multimeter set for Ohms, but neglect checking for shorts. Easy to verify, ask the mechanic if he checked the conductors for shorts to each other, to ground, etc. If the wires are bundled together with other wiring, it may close to impossible to find, but usually a short is either to ground, or to power (12V), or to each other.
