maybe the sensor is stuck or has a loose wire. i believe the electronic fuel sensors work by resistance to ground. if there is more resistance it has less fuel in it. if it has a loose ground then the resistance would be higher than what is calibrated for.

According to Polaris tech support(when I was still at the dealership) Those gauges are not accurate for the first 1/2 tank. They are suppose to be accurate at "Empty" though. When it says it's gone, it probably is!
Personally i had a machine in one time and the gauge read FULL. I siphoned out approximately 3/4 of a gallon and the gauge went to 1/2 tank.
