Your float in the tank may have a small hole in it and its taking on fuel making it sink. Or its just a faulty sender. "We are but a grain of sand on the beach of life"

Scrape some some of the gunge off the tank and a bit of nearby chassis and get someone to earth across properly. See if the gauge accuracy improves. j __________________________________________ Keep the shiny side up, and the greasy side down.

The float is part of the sender unit so if your going to pull the unit out you might as well just replace it with a new or good second hand unit.
