Hello,
This could be due to a faulty fuel level sending unit.
The sending unit consists of a float that attaches to a resistor panel.
Over time the float can get stuck in a certain position, or the resistor can go bad and display incorrect fuel gauge reading.
The sending unit is part of the fuel pump assembly, located in the fuel tank.
I have attached diagrams below for your reference.
Let me know of any questions.
Thank you.
