There are a few things that would cause the gas gauge to act up, the gauge itself may be a problemm or the wiring from the dash to the gauge and last the sending unit.
The sending unit which is located inside the gas tank itself is the most common reason for fuel gauge fault in many cars, the next would be the cluster (gauge). since its hard to replace just the gauge and also harder to buy a gauge the cluster is replaced. 99% of the time it is replaced with a used one..
Here is a link to a you tube video that may be helpful to you. this will help you understand how it works and what involed.
good day.

If
all voltages checked ok, then most probably its faulty instrument cluster board
on which gauges are connected. Yes if cluster circuit board looks ok, then also
it can be faulty. Somewhere there is minute short or burn on board then such
problem arises.
Also
check the fuse box. One under hood and other under dash.
Inspect
each and every fuse and see if all are fine or not.
