Check the tech area of audiworld.com or www.audidiy.com - one of them has a writeup for fixing a broken wire on the sending unit and cleaning its contacts. 95% of the time a screwy gas gauge is fixed this way.
When it tells you to solder the wire, you can use splice connectors to put a jumper in to repair it - I did that and haven't had a problem since.

Don't replace it. Pull it out and clean the terminals. Look for the thin wire that runs under the arm on the sender - it's obvious when you look. Most of us who had the problem have found that wire to be frayed or broken. Repair it and you should be in good shape.
