Bit of a daft question given the price of fuel, But what does it read when full, with the durite type sender it can be a simple case of just bending the arm, a bit more info might be a help like make of clock and sender

Are you using a voltage stabiliser? if not then it is most likely due to the voltage to gauge and sender being to high, you would be best to find a sender to match the gauge along with a matching voltage stabiliser.
