Unfortunately, there's no way for a standard mechanical sender/gauge to respond linearly to the fuel level. The combination of a tank with a slanted bottom and a sender float that goes in an arc makes that essentially impossible. In a production car with an analog gauge, they re-calibrate the gauge face to match the tank contents, and the tanks are usually flat-bottomed.
