Therer is a calibration screw behind a small round blanking cover on the selector switch ,
It is for calibrating the bar gauge fuel level indicator , you fill the tank and adjust so that the top bar just comes on ... This may improve things ..

After filling the tank make sure the car is on a level surface. You need to set the info centre switch to FUEL AVG, hold the reset button, turn ignition to position II, you will see a readout of the amount of litres on the gauge, then adjust the calibrating screw with a miniture flat driver so the litres show 59 (applies to mid 1990 models onwards)

Hope this helps...
