I assume you mean the fuel gauge that tells you how much fuel there is left. The reason is that the fuel sensor is stuck. This fuel sensor is a mechanical fuel sensor that rises with the fuel level in the gas tank. A really ridiculous design for a fuel level sensor. It gets stuck and you will need to replace it. Its the same amount of time to replace it as to replace the fuel pump. Just leave it until the fuel pump goes bad, then you can do both.
