    Mine has a similar problem. I just use the taco and refill after every -x- amount of Km's (that I know is approximately 6/7's of a tank) and refill. It's a pain but you get used to how your car uses fuel I guess.

    The float is a part of the sender. it moves up and down with the fuel level. I know nothing about Z ones but in some cars the float could get a pin hole with age causingit to fill with fuel and sit lower in the tank. which would give a wrong reading.

    Uh I don't really understand that last part.. but like other people have said it's probably the indicator in the tank. Sorry, don't really know where you could get one.
