Default Accurate Fuel Gauge alternative?

Hello everyone

The fuel gauge on the boat is mediocre at best. Its a standard rod/resistance with a faria gauge that is never accurate. The tank is old, plastic and in good enough condition.

Does anyone have any suggestions or alternatives that would work better? Preferably with a digital gauge.

Thanks :-)

A Reed style sender tends to be more accurate.
