Default Fuel Gauge Stuck near end

Hi Gurus

Hope all of you doing fine...
I am experiencing strange problem which never ever happend in 3 years. The fuel gauge will stuck & does not go below the black line. it has small gap between red (empty) & black line. it will just stuck @ where black line starts. when I fill the tank with as minimum as 1 litre it will go down to red & low fuel light will lit.
This caused me to stop on road twice with no fuel.
I have tried with fuses / driving without fuel tank cap..
with tank cap off, it moved a little more below but not fully down to red

I am thinking of air outlet in tank. might causing vaccum & guage inside tank stops.

any ideas / experiences

Thanks
