I have a problem with Fuel gauges that under-read  on my -6.  They were working perfectly for 6 years then one day I noticed  that first the right tank gauge and about two months later, the left started to  under-read.  With tanks full they barely indicate above 1/2 and  when empty go well below the "0"  On power down the one gauge whips back to  below "0" and parks on the stop while the other one winds down more leisurely  but also comes to rest well below the "0".  They are the old type Ispro  gauges with float sender units. They seem to indicate fuel decreasing as it is  burnt off but it is almost as if the needles need to be "cranked"  up 

 I have checked the earthing points and wiring but  short of pulling the tanks off I am at a loss of what to do.  Is there a  resistance check one can do and if so how does one go about it?  Has  anyone had this problem? Any advice in welcome
