The fuel sender uses a resistive strip for determining the fuel level. The picture below shows one remove from the tank. Contaminants in the fuel can cause the issues you are seeing. Sometimes the issue will fix itself (after 20 or so cycles of the gas tank). You can pull the sender assembly and try cleaning the resistive strip with electronic contact cleaner.
