You may want to check the rest of the system befor you condem the sensor. Unplugging the sensor wiring should send the indicator to full and grouding the wire through a test light should show empty tank. If the system works then the senor is stuck, has a bad connection or broken. The sensor is in the fuel tank which must be removed to inspect. An ugly job if you dont have a hoist.
drop tank a few inches, disconnect wiring and fuel lines - you may want to release fuel pressure through the service valve on the fuel rail by the injectors before dissconnecting. remove pump and sensor assembly. use ohm meter to check sensor. Resistance usually ranges from 10 to 100 ohms. If no resistance reading replace sensor. It may be hard to find a sepperate sensor as they usually come with a pump assembly.
Or dont fix it and always keep your tank full. You should know how far a tank will get you. I would fill up every 300-400 kms
