There is no rhyme or reason to this, it just moves all over the place. is it a bad ground? Where should I ground the gauge to make sure I have a good ground?
How is the sender grounded? It sounds like it momentarily loses ground and the gauge goes past full, then it finds ground and reads correct. If it is using the tank for ground, that may be the problem. It needs a ground wire from the sender to the truck frame.
