        Could be the ground wire  from the sender to the frame.  It's up
above the tank on the LH side and  there is no access unless you drop the
tank.  This connection is usually  corroded as all the grounding terminals are
on the vans these days.   Remember the fuel sender is a variable resistance
type sender so more  resistance ~ corrosion = more resistance so lower level
readings.

is squished, i wonder if it's a ground issue  or the voltage stabilizer =
issue.  I believe the VR also affects the  temp gauge as well?<<<<<<
