My thinking is still kinda cloudy this morning but it seems to me that if your tank is empty, the float is all the way down. No bending is going to change that. Sounds like it may have the wrong resistance or a bad ground. You need a good ground to get the empty reading.
Now, if the tank was full...and it read halfway...AND the movement of the arm was only half up as in, hitting the top of the tank, then yeah, you could bend it down to get more travel.
