I'm not sure what your filler neck is like but if removable you could remove 
it and shine a flashlight in it and see enough to have a good idea of how 
dirty it is.  A lot of radiator shops will boil them and seal them up for 
you.  If gauge does not read correctly one thing to look for is a metal 
strap that clips on the steel nipple on the sending unit on one end and then 
to the metal gas line ahead of it.  That is a ground strap that must be 
there and making good contact or gauge will not read correctly.  If it is 
there and in good enough shape you can pry it off and clean it and the tube 
sections where it clips on.  If not there or rusty try connecting the 
sending unit nipple to the body gasline with a short piece of copper wire 
and a couple of miniature worm gear clamps.
