or run a simple earth from the bootlid to the car body, see if that helps, just bodge it at first cos it may not help, im assumning the demister earth is duff and its goin thru the other circuits to earth (hinges dont make good earths and the wirin that runs thru is easily busted)

rereadin ur prob it may be the other way round and the sender is earthing wrong (maybe via the fuel pump supply to make it go to the top straight away), try putting a better earth to that too (could patch in under the rear seat to a good earth to see if that sorts out the gauge problem)
