Could be the float. But I don't see the float submerging itself in a full tank of gas, then coming back up to the top.

The gas gauge is controlled by an electric magnet, it receives a currant from the sensor to display how much gas you have in the tank.

Could be in your dash or a sensor.

How long has it been doing this?
