It also might be the grounding nut at the back of the guage in the cluster. Often then rattle loose! just tighten it up...
Same thing with the temp guage
Oh and your post may have not been looked at as it was in CAPITALS, its regarded as shouting/rude and not that easy to read...

please also note that e30 petrol gauges, once they reach quarter full, drop extremely quicker than any other car gauge i have seen
going round corners too fast doesnt help either as it still uses the conventional method of measuring how much fuel there is in the tank
