Fuel gauge problems

Hey i have a 2001 250 superduty and i think my fuel gauge is as acurate as can be (NOT).......it free floats bad and i have no clue how much gas it can hold or how many miles i can go....heres an example if im facing downhil i have less fuel....my other ford doesnt do this and if i face uphill i have more gas....shoot when i drive i swear i see the needle drop steady then ill look later its up slightly.....does anyone know what this might be
