Might be a failed float level.

The fuel pump and level are all one assy. It's not that hard to get it. You have a service manual? No? Then take it to a dealer or a good repair shop. It could be just a loose wire but internet diagnostics are almost impossible.

Had a similar problem when the needle would never read above 7/8 full. Dealership needed to replace both the fuel sender unit and the guage cluster as well. Something to ask them to take a look at when you take it down.
