My fuel gauge continues to work, and I am still adjusting to it. When the tank is brimming full, the gauge is just short of the full mark.

I am still resetting the tripometer as a backup. The other day my wife and I went on a 106 mile drive after filling the tank. I usually get 8 mpg around town, but the 106 were all highway miles. When I got home the gauge read just over half, so I thought it was wrong. When I filled up it took 8.8 gallons (19 gallon tank) so the fuel gauge was spot on! Most encouraging.

If I ever have the tank out again I'm going to solder an extra ground wire to the top of the sender. I think poor grounding was my root problem originally.
