Default fuel guage problem

when i bought the truck the guage said 1/8 tank left when really it was full. i bought one of them cheap $15 universal senders and put it in the tank with a matching autometer fuel level guage to go with it. it has worked for awhile but never accurate, i think the diesel took its toll on it finaly because it is constantkly on full now. what has everyone done to solve this issue on their truck

Mine does that to I just go til the fuel light comes on that tels me I got about 46 miles til I run out also if you know how many miles to a tank you can go just reset your trip meter everytime you fuel up and keep an eye on it
