Default Incorrect gauges

I was wondering if anyone knew the best way to fix my gauges. I know the fuel reads 1/4 full but its running empty, and im sure that my oil pressue and temp, must be wrong also. Any ideas? Or do i have to take it to a mech to fix?

the shape of the tank is why the fuel gage is that way on these cars. some run out at 1/8 to 1/4 and some drop really fast from 1/4 to e. u can test the temp sensor to see if its reading the same as the gage.

can also hook up a mechanical gage to see if the oil gage is reading right.
at least once u know what the real readings are u can tell what the gages are really saying.
