i think if you have a car like mine at a 52 plate i.e about 8yrs old or more
the fuel tank is filling with crap and needs flushing out or otherwise the float is actually broken, mine sticks at the same level evry time so im told by a machanic that the tank needs a clean out, but if that fails its a new float.

Chevy Dealer has the float for $155.Also, had this problem with my '01 Silverado and read about it in other blogs. Recommendations were to add Techron Fuel System Cleaner for $11 to the gas tank. After a few days the fuel tank sensor started working again. Techron cleans the sulphur off the sensor, as advertised, allowing it to pickup an electrical signal and eliminating false or no readings and also shuts off the low fuel light. Worked for me even though I bought a new sensor to install in the tank if this didn't work but it did. Cheap easy fix so far!
