Try Techron fuel cleaner first, 1 or 2 bottles and maybe better quailty gas. Fixes most peoples issues

There are several posts on fuel gauge problems.

I fixed mine by only running the top tier gas in it for 2 tanks no problems in 6 months.

Some have said run a can or two of Techron thru it or a can of Seafoam with a half tank of gas.

I have a friend who runs whatever gas is cheaper but his car is still under warranty and he has had both sending units replaced twice under warranty.
