In my grand 97 Ford taurus I am getting use to the gas gauge moving and not reflecting the correct amount. I can go around a corner and it will move, I can slow down or speed up and it will move. I can fill up the tank and it won’t go all the way to F. Is this something with Ford taurus alone? ---

No, but it is something with your sending unit in the gas tank. It’s hanging up. Honestly, on a '97 I’d be inclined to consider it an old age quirk. To fix it would require dropping the tank. ---

No. This happens to any vehicle when the float on the fuel pump assembly wears out. Tester ---

The floats is not worn out…The little cheesy rheostat the float is connected to is worn out…Drive on…
