Mine seems to fluctuate too, but its usually when I'm on some type of incline or decline. Make sure the lay of the land isn't sloping. [8D]

I had the same problem in my explorer. Took it to the dealer and they told me the float was bad also the censor was bad. So i had them replace with a hookup at the dealer. Fixed the problem right up. I would fill up the tank and the meter would read half full. I was lucky it didn't run out of gas on the highway since the meter was messed up. If i were you just check the censor and it should be fixed. Don't go as far as i did. The price for replacing the censor and float on my explorer with the hook up was 200 bucks. Real dealer price 800 bucks
