Ok, on my 87 BII, 2.9L, M50D, My fuel gauge has been messed up. It reads fine when full, all the way down to half full. Below that it drops to empty. I got brave and continued driving, knowing that there is still half a tank of gas. I noticed it started to rise slowly, to about 1/4, then dropped again. I figured the sender in the tank was bad (the float reastat) so I just installed a whole new sender unit. The original didn't look bad and the reastat showed mild wear. After the new one was installed, it's still doing it. (yay, I have a good spare, now) I did clean the plug terminals, they showed mild corrosion.
Any ideas what would cause it to act like this?
