Default gas gauge problem

Filled tank up and have driven 120 miles so far and gas gauge hasn't budged...do I have the dreaded sending unit problem? Just put a bottle of Chevron tech in...I was told it may solve problem...any other ideas other than taking it in for a new sending unit/card?
Thanks
Update...


Hey jimkari, (Jim) thank you very much for sending the "fix"...you are !
Pepole like you make this place great!

..pm me with your e-mail address and i will send you "the fix" as an attachment....sounds like a dirty sender unit on the fuel pump assembly, stuck/bent float, or broken contact on the assembly...
