My liberty does the same thing, but sometimes it creeps around but its never accurate.
The senders is probably one of the only things to make this stuff up but i would check for bad earths etc.
Cheers, Jarrod

It will be the sender's contact area 98% of the time. All else it can be are a loose connection/bad earth or the actual gauge is dicky (pretty unlikely).

i noticed my sisters fuel guage is all over the shop in her gen1. Up to 1/3rd of a tank in change, ya boot it, and it goes down 1/3rd of a tank, then it goes back to reading normal.
my gen3 has a very accurate fuel guage Mike..
