The repop Taiwanese senders are not really very accurate, buy they are cheap (around $30 or so). I did have to adjust mine to make the gauge read the the way I wanted it to.

I had to actually shorten the wire bar that holds the float, and then bend it a little. I did that over several tries, taking the sender in and out each time. Be sure to use new seals between the sender and the tank and lube them with vaseline .Also be sure to get them alligned just right when you rotate that locking ring on the sender to tighten it down. I did finally get mine to read a little past the "F" on the upside when full and a little past the "E" on the downside when empty,which is how I wanted it.
