bmw r12 燃料計 diagnosis before replacing the fuel display

I am looking at a bmw r12 燃料計 problem where the fuel reading is inconsistent. Before replacing expensive parts, I want to check sender signal and wiring.
I found this related page while comparing notes: bmw r12 燃料計. I wanted a practical thread before ordering parts.
Would you check battery voltage, ground points, sender connector, tank harness routing, resistance sweep, cluster faults, corrosion, fuel level calibration and a refill comparison first?

And fault codes.
Check harness rub.
I will log it.
