Default fuel gauge

So I had about 3/4 of a tank in my car and drove about three hours on it but yet my gauge is still reading full. Something has to be replaced here, but what?

I tried that, it didn't work. I'm going to try a couple of different things to see if anything works.......

So filling up the tank didn't help any, I guess it might be the sending unit?
