Fuel gauge erratic ?

My 99 Expedition has had an erratic fuel gauge for several years. I replaced the fuel pump assembly (includes new fuel sender) with an Airtex unit. I still have an erratic fuel gauge. I also have a "check engine" code 452...." EVAP pressure sensor signal low". The truck runs great! Does anyone have any ideas what this could be? Thanks, Mark

Define erratic. i.e. :
reads low all the time
the needle bounces all around in real-time
etc.

When parked facing downhill, the next time I start up the gage will read 1/2 of what it should.

What is erratic?

Good point. The gauge will indicate 1/4 tank, 15 minutes later it might go up to 3/4 of a tank. The next time you start up it will show 1/2 tank etc.The changes are very slow though. Mark

The gauge itself is shot.

To add to what alloro said, I believe you have to replace the whole cluster to get the 1 gauge fixed, but I could be wrong.
