Because the gas in being forced to one side of the tank and the sensor that reads the fuel level is reading a lower level as gas gets sloshed around.

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
How do you Troubleshoot a 63 Corvette Fuel Gauge Problem?
Looking from the rear of the gauge apply +12v to right terminal and ground to left terminal. If functional the gauge will go to full. Reverse wires and the gauge should go to the left below empty. If it does these two things the gauge is working and the problem is wiring or sending unit. Randy Nix
