The fuel gauge could be getting improper signals from the fuel sensor. The sensor is located inside of the fuel tank.

Why is my Fuel gauge above full even when empty?
float could be stuck, or the fuse could be blown, some cars show full,empty or half when there is no voltage (normaly a 10 amp fuse) Could also be a bad sending unit. Unfortunately this is located inside the gas tank and is part of the fuel pump assembly. See "Related Questions" below for more
How can you troubleshoot the fuel gauge on a 1993 Ford Explorer when after filling the tank the gauge slowly drops to E even though it is not empty?
Most likely, there is a small hole in the plastic float in your gas tank's sending unit. As the float fills with fuel,it sinks to the bottom of the tank and sends an "empty" signal to the gas gauge. You're gonna need a new fuel pump. Scott

The problem may not be in the sensor. The problem could exist in either the the gauge, or something may have gotten stuck in the guage preventing the needle from going any higher. If something gets stuck even once, it can permanently throw your gauge off.
Sending unit is new so why does water temp gauge not work on 99 marquis?
sounds like your temp switch is bad you will need to replace it. Maybe the thermostat is stuck open and the engine never heats up. <- even if the thermostat is stuck open the temp gauge would register heat it would just take longer for the engine to heat up for it to register.

The windshield wiper fluid indicator light keeps coming on in my 2005 VW Jetta....even when it is not low or empty. How do you correct this?
You may need to replace the sensor it is located in the bottle or as a float set up the float could be getting stuck down. Try not to let it get totally empty for a while.
