3:00 on the gauge is usually your ground from the sender ring to the frame... It can be a damaged wire or dodgy connection between the sender and the gauge but usually it's the short little ground wire.
Try grounding the fuel tank to the frame with some jumper cables. If that fixes it the ground wire is your 3:00 needle problem...
