That's the thing. If I disconnect tank wire from the sender and measure it with an ohm meter it pretty constant. If I rock the car I get a little bit of fluctuation from the float. But it never shows an open circuit or a drastic change in ohm reading.

With it hooked back up, I can simple turn the igniton to on and it will either read full or correct (currently around half). If I turn the key off and then back in sometime it reads correctly or sometimes it reads Full.

I just though it was odd that while it was reading full If I momentary grounded the tank terminal, it would ready empty (as expected). Then go back to normal. The suddenly just back to full. This is without any motion to the car. Tapping on the gauge makes no difference either.

It for sure something internal to the gauge since the tank wire appears to be stable. This gauge wasn't hooked up when I got the car and I am pretty sure was out in the elements for awhile.
