Pull the sender out and shake it.

Unplug the fuel pump harness and see what happens. Fuel level sender is routed along with fuel pump wires.

Either your sender, your gauge, or the wiring is broken.

There's a level on the fuel pump bracket, check the niddle and wires on it. That is normally the main cause of fuel gage playing up.

well its fluctuations of resistance. if the resistance gets screwed up along the wires/if the sending unit itself is shot, then you'll have improper readings.
