If it's going up and down ... it might be an electrical problem .. might be a bad earth and the signal is not getting to your cluster properly .. may need to get an auto sparky to look at it.

If have an issue when i slam the brakes on ... the fuel gauge can't read from both my tank senders and says I have empty tanks .. then it slowly rises back up again.

It's annoying as hell at times.

check for water on sender plug/ connector. When signal shorts out gauge thinks full. Can partially short out with water.
