Most likely it would be the sending unit, either is bad or you have got a bad floater in the sending unit. The floaters are known to get holes in them thus giving wrong readings. I recently replaced the sending unit in my truck in the front tank and the hole problem was a bad floater, but since I had the truck bed off I also replaced the rear tank unit.

maybe your floater is stuck, causing it to remain afloat even when the gas level is low.
