    Just disconnect ur gauge from the hose n hook it back up, see if that takes the air out of the line.. air in the line is probley what it is..

    even try unscrewing your sender from the block and cleaning up the pin hole/face of the sender make sure it is not blocked as you will get a false reading(For Electrical Gauge)
