Sender in the tank. Mine did that soon after buying. Took the sender out of the tank and the wire wound resiter that operates it all was broken. I looked at all sorts of cheap cowboy repairs before spending $150 at a wreckers for a new sender.Its one of the easiest parts on the Isuzu to get at

Its on the front of the tank and held in with about 6 small screws. Make sure the tank is well below half and be ready with a bucket just in case. There is a drain on the tank if you prefer

Before pulling the fuel sender out check all the wiring... it sounds like a bad connection rather than a bad sender. Mate and re-mate any connectors to clean up the contacts etc
