gas gauge

Has anyone had a problem with their gas gauge? It seems that every time i turn the truck to the on position, but not starting it, the gas gauge is at a different level. It will go, empty, 1/4 tank, 1/8 tank, ect. anybody else have a similar problem? BTW it is a 99 F250SD 4x4

Sounds like a float issue.. How many miles on the 99? Might be time to pull the sending unit and take a look at the float..
