A faulty fuel gauge sending unit in the fuel tank could cause that.
why won't my gas gauge work all the time.it will read full when i fill it but after that as i drive i am not sure how much gas is in the tank
The gas gauge is in the instrument cluster , the sending unit for the gas gauge is inside the gas tank combined with the electric fuel pump
my gas gauge is not working what could be the problem
To change the gas gauge in a vehicle, you will typically need to access the instrument cluster or gauge cluster, remove it to access the gas gauge, disconnect the wiring harness and any other connections, then install the new gas gauge by attaching all the connections and securing it back in place.

If the gas gauge stops working is there a fuse for it?
The gas gauge and fuel pump are on two separate circuits tand both go inside the gas tank. The gas gauge usesf a float that moves a resistor according to fuel level. Gas gauges. When you experiewnce the gas gauge not working at all I would look for a disconection external to the tank first. If you cna send six volts from the tank sender to the gauge this should cause the gauge to read. If it does then you know the problem is with the sending unit and it must be removed from the tank to repair or replace.
Bad sending unit, corroded wire from the sending unit to the gauge, faulty fuel gauge are a few.
your gas gauge float is in the gas tank you have to drop your gas tank and take out sending unit but if the gas gauge is not reading right you should check the ground wire on the gas tank
The fault could be the sending unit or the dash gauge.
its all 1 unit on the top of the gas tank pump and gas gauge costs about 240 at NAPA just prop up the gas tank, loosen the bands and drop it down an easy fix
