As suggested it could be the sender unit , but it could also be the gauge that is stuck if you have been parked up a long while,

Hi and welcome to FUN.

The sender gauge is the most likely issue or the wire to it is damaged or unplugged. Have you checked under the bonnet recently? I was told about a guy locally had squirrel damage to the wiring in his van as it had nested under the bonnet and snacked on a lot of wire

I would guess it's the sender unit. Mounted behind the block on the top right hand side. Available from eBay.
This one ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/23491362...d=link&campid=5338547443&toolid=20001&mkevt=1

Have a look at www.cartronix.co.uk they have a fix for this problem of stuck gauges on Fiat Ducato vans/Motorhomes , I have also heard it suggested trying a magnet to free a stuck gauge needle , if this is the problem , but I have no idea if this works.

If you are brave enough I had to spray silicone onto all the gauges on my old 2004 van. You first need to take the clocks module out which is amazingly easy.
