Absolutely.  Gas gauge going to empty is a classic sign of a poor dash  
ground.  The screw that holds the bottom of the dash to the dash frame just  to 
the right of the steering column is either missing or not making a good  
ground for the strap that comes down from the back of the gauge cluster to the 
 screw hole.  Be sure you have a good ground at this location and the  
problem will go away--or at least get you one step closer to the real  problem.  
But I would bet that is the problem.  You did reinstall that  screw didn't 
you?
