Sounds like the Fuel selector valve is not switching correctly..... but the newly selected tank fuel reading is the last thing to close when switching is normally completed...

I left out of the driveway with 3/8 of a tank, after 70 miles it had climed to 3/4 of a tank, and once i got home it was back to between 3/8 and 1/2. and NO i did not stop and fuel up anywhere...

I would drop the tank(s) and check the senders they will screw up and are replaceable. Rockauto has them.

i think one of my biggest issues is going to be the frame valve. yesterday it, at one point, would, switch set on Front = pull from rear, return to read... switch set to Rear = pull from front, return to rear. lovely aint it...
