Repairing a fuel gauge is just like any other repair job; first you have to find out what's wrong, then repair or replace the offending component.

In the case of a fuel gauge, the sending unit in the tank is the most common culprit.

To replace or repair the sending unit you need to disconnect the tank from the vehicle body and carefully lower the tank then remove the fuel pump and fuel gauge sending unit. They are connected and generally considered to be a single component. The electronic components of the fuel tank are held in place by a single ring on top of the tank that must be tapped, forcing it to turn counter-clockwise. Be careful with the ring, since you'll need it to re-install the electronics component.

If it's NOT the sending unit, you could have a broken wire, corroded or otherwise faulty connector or a failed dashboard gauge.... but the sending unit is most likely the problem.
