Default Fuel gauge problem

I was just drivng today and noticed after coming up from kinda a dipped hill going under train bridge i noticed my gas gauge go from half to about 1/4 past Full then bounce back to half just wondering if anyone knows what could have caused this maybe a short or the floater in the tank sticking.

Something about the tank being V-shaped causes some "slowness" of the gauge, but also a very common problem with LT1 gauges is that when full the gauge will show 1/4 past F, and will be empty around 1/4.
