The fuel gauge gets a reading from the fuel level sender in your fuel tank. There is a float attached to a lever floating on the fuel. The lever moves ( as the fuel is depleted or refilled) along a variable resistor in the sending unit. The guage detects the variance in resistance, telling you how much fuel is in the tank.
