Fuel Gauge Reading Fixed!
After fighting the 1/4 tank full problem that everyone gets I finally figured it out. I had bout 2 new fuel sending units. Both of them had leaky floats so I bought a plastic float. Still had the 1/4 tank full problem. The problem was on the back side of my fuel gauge where the fuel gauge resistor sits. The nuts that hold the resistor in place were loose and not making good contact with the circuit board and the fuel gauge. On the post there is a nut then the circuit board then the outer nut. The nuts under the circuit board were loose. Once I cleaned and tightened up the nuts it all works.

Re: Fuel Gauge Reading Fixed!
The problem is the bottom left nut shown in pic above just below the main electrical plug
