Could the gas sensor in my tank be loose ? When ever i make left or right turns my gas meter will move a little to the left or right depending on the turn and when im done turning it goes back to where it was. Is this normal ? Can this be fixed so that it doesnt move like that? Help Please ?

it's called a "floater", that is just how the fuel level sending unit works on older vehicles like this.
