Exclamation Gas guage issues!!

I was driving today and this woman almost hit me so I had to swerve.. I get about a mile down the road and notice that my needle went from 1/2 a tank to just about a half a quarter. I went to get gas station and filled up but it only moved the gauge a half a quarter. What could be the issue all the connections are good and clean.

Maybe the huge gas slosh knackered the sending unit. That would be my guess.

Look atte wires around the exhaust. Mine only read a half at empty because they were being shorted on my header. New wires and no problem
