Certainly find the gauge doesn’t move much at start if over half a tank but does fall quickly after.
I would definitely put my money on a faulty level sender in the tank

Well I think it’s something I’m going to have to live with and bear it in mind between fills.

Potentially not a 10 minute fix I guess.

Unless it packs in altogether and I have no gauge reading, I’ll leave it and see what develops.

It's not a complicated or time consuming job, but OEM parts aren't cheap.
