You put an ohm gauge between the sensor terminal and the body of the gauge, and you move the float arm and check that the reading changes in a smooth manner. an old fashioned analogue gauge will show any faults more easily than a digital gauge.

You need to eliminate where the fault lies. Could be sender unit in the tank, could be the gauge itself, could be the wiring harness and if bi-metal gauge it could be the voltage stabilizer/regulater.
I suggest you identify WHAT sort of gauge it is first. Is there 2 or 3 wires going to the gauge! This will determine your diagnosis method.

Can you not get access to the tank sensor without dropping it! Being a ute an access panel in the tray!
If you can get to the back of the gauge tell me how many wires on the gauge.
When you say it isn't reading true, how exactly do you mean! ie when full gauge us only reading 3/4 etc
