  Yeah, but it's a simple fix.  All you have to do is spend about $100 on a new 
sender, remove the engine, remove the fuel tank, replace the sender, and then 
replace all of the above.  Only one hard days job.  Or you can do what some 
cheap VW mechanics do and simply cut a hole in the body above the fuel sender 
and replace it that way.  I hate it when the sender in a bus goes bad.  May be 
better to just wait till the next time you have the engine out and do it then.  
Course if you have a DC or an SC then it's simple to get the tank out, right 
Paul?

    Did you check to see if the gage is grounded well.
    If it's not the gage then I can see it being a couple of other things:
    Is it a bay tank in a split? If so, did you replace the split sender
    with a bay sender?
    Could be that the sender is old and has built up crud in the tube
    causing it to stick 3/4 up and thus not reading full on the gage.
