My gauge  started working pretty well after I removed it from the dash and 
cleaned (wire  brushed) the contacts on the coiled resistor on the back.  It was 
 apparently not making good contact and was quite erratic.  Now it's  pretty 
accurate and consistent.   No more guessing fuel level based  on miles 
traveled!

I've also had good results with old fashioned tuner cleaner in a spray  can.  
Radio Shack still had it last year.  Spray some on and let it  work.
