Re: fuel guage problem
The gauge has a ceramic calibration resistor on the back of the gauge coil cannister. If it's cracked or not making good contact it'll cause the gauge to malfunction the way you describe.
If the gauge itself has stared to fail that'll cause this too. The other thing that'll do this is increased resistance in the sender circuit... but that'll cause the needle to read super high, past the Full line on the face, when you fill it.
