Stagnant fuel gauge
Is it possible to have the OEM gauge read like the modern fuel gauges today? I dont like when I accelerate the gauge moves toward full and decelerate it goes toward empty. I would just like it to stay at the level its suppose to, that way Im not stopping at the gas station every 4-5 days due to faulty readings. I dont want to change the IP, dont have the money to do that conversion at the moment and really dont want to. Is it possible to intergrate 4th gen tech from their fuel system to help with the problem?

When driving, for several hours therefore you need to check the gage, do it while maintaining a steady speed.
The 4th Gen gage goes thru a solid state averaging converter.
Per your budget that’s more then you want to spend presently.
For less than $1, you can install a 1000 microfarad capacitor across the sender.
No need to open the tank, you can do it at the connector or IP.
Capacitors have polarity so remember to connect the negative side to ground, and the positive to the sender wire.
