Title: Today...

...I turned the ignition on, the fuel gauge started jumping and finally jumped all the way over to the other side...

Never trusted it completely, but it sucks just to watch the poor needle lying still on the other side.
I remember reading something about really strong magnets...

But one thing leads to another, I might as well do a headlight upgrade while I'm injecting silicone into the gauge...
and then...
and then...

Mine has done this twice. Last time it happened was when I filled the tank to the brim.  Just get a super strong magnet (neodymium), circle it around the needle axis a couple of times and bob's your uncle.
