Its probably the resistive arc on the sender unit itself in the tank.

yes, sender is part of the pump assembly, accessible from the boot (drivers side)

just a quick question, (sorry to threadjack) is it standard for the needle to stay at the current fuel level, even when the ignition is turned off? I sort of thought that it should drop to zero when you turn the car off, then return to the correct level when you turn back on again, like the water temp gauge.
