Fuel gauage problems

Hi dont know whether its a common fault but my fuel gauage always says the same amount no matter how much i put in! im guessing a dodgy sensor or something. I can keep track of my mielage but this could end in tears one day so could anyone advise how to get it working??!
Cheers

I think you should just take her to a garage, i mean think of her sitting out there everyday just waiting to be fixed man. Treat her good, sort her out. Where do you live maybe i could pop round have a look?

Drilling holes and pulling out would be the best idea i think...then u only have to fill a couple holes...and maybe u cud fill the smaller dents that are left...think thts the best option..Try type in google 'Dent removal' there are different methods on there how to remove dents.Hope this helps.
