Ran out of gas when the fuel gauge read approximately 1/4 tank. I took out the sender to see if there was rust on the guides but none present and float moved just fine. Is there something else that could have taken a dump and be giving me a false reading or do I just need to get another one?

is there a specific orientation of the sending unit? float guide wires fore/aft, side to side? i pulled the one out that failed to read consistantly below 1/3 of a tank then dropped. put in 2 others that the floats seemed to move freely. ran out of fuel with the first replacement. the second has the light come on around 1/3 of a tank. nerve racking on a 600 mile drive.
