Steel,
The fuel gauage in my truck isn't accurate either. Unfortunately, I can't tell you how to fix it but I just use my trip meter and when I put 300 miles on it I fill up. With my 29 gallon tank it ususally takes around 20 gallons. I found out about my gauge when I ran out of fuel and the gauge still said 1/4 of a tank. It was Christmas time and about 20 degree's outside. Pretty cold for Oklahoma! Not a fun time to run out of fuel.
Good Luck!!!

I will just use Trip meter. This sounds like the best method thanks to all for the help.
