Default Fuel Gauge

I was wondering if there is a way to make the fuel gauge on an obs work like a fuel gauge on a SD? like how the gauge doesn't move around when you turn or go up a hill. it seems like when you get below a quarter tank it stays at empty but you still have fuel. Is there a kit i can buy or do i just have to deal with it?

They all seem different. Do you think anything is wrong with mine?

mine does it too, even when i go around turns. One second it will say full and the next it says half, it really bothers the hell out of me

i've got 4 of them but none of them have ever done it, but i did notice it always takes a little bit for them to move off of full then all of a sudden they're bout down to half

a lot of tanks that the senders don't bounce around on have baffles in them to prevent the diesel from sloshing around at lower levels im not sure if the super dutys have them in the tanks or not
