Default 92 SC400 Fuel Level Not Reading Correctly!!

This just started happening. Like 5 days ago i filled up after a while and i noticed it took 17 gallons.. Which i was ok, whatever... Then i turn on the car, waited, waited, waited, and it never got to full like it used to.. Not only that i noticed when i turn the car off, the needle stays at 1/4 tank.. What could be causing this, and what are my options to repair!!

Thanks in advance!

have you taken out or messed with your cluster recently? If those screws in the back aren't tight enough, it doesn't make a good connection and can produce the exact same symptoms Pspice described.

U might need to change the fuel float in the gas tank. I changed mine last week, now when I fill it up it goes straight to F. Before it used to go a stick below F when it was full
