Mine does the same thing.  Or similar.  It reads 1/4 high.  In other words 
Empty reads 1/4, half tank reads 3/4 and when I fill it, it goes off scale and 
stays there for about 50 miles.  It takes a little getting used to.  

I don't know what it is but maybe a little float rod bending will fix it.
