Default Fuel gauge issues

Hi, my 2000 S40 2L petrol started playing up a couple of weeks ago. I try and drive it carefully to keep the mpg at a good level so I often look at the readout. It suddenly dropped from about 29 to 26.3 and stayed there for a few days without moving (the fuel gauge was reading correctly at this point). Then, the fuel gauge dropped to just above empty although I knew the tank was 3/4 full. I have seen posts relating to the fuel sender unit but given how this problem 'evolved', I wondered if it might be something else. Any ideas anyone?
