Re: Fuel gauge
It's a known fault with the float in the petrol tank, when your going downhill you'll gain fuel, when going uphill you'll see it decrease.

Re: Fuel gauge
Yeah fuel sender unit, it's simple to replace, lift the back seat and pull back the carpet so you can see a black circular cap, remove that and it's just right there
If it doesn't fit,
force it,
If it breaks,
It needed replacing anyway
