I had similar problems with the same setup. What batteries are you using? Do you have at least 1000 CA?

I was running 850 CA batteries and the gauges would work for one trip, then they went out. Once I changed over to bigger batteries, they have been working great.

Default EP 15

Exact same problem I had. Mine would read the stbd tank but not port.

Also, you can do a quick check to see if either the tank level sensor is bad or it's the EP 15. Disconnect the 2 wires from the tank sensor and touch them together. Your gauge should read full. If it doesn't, then it's probably the batteries.
