With the tank completely full, I pulled the sending unit and carefully bent the float arm down until the gauge read just a touch over the white full dot. I did the bending in small increments, reinstalling and testing each time until I got it right. I did this with a disconnected battery and only reconnected it when I was checking it.
My gauge is now accurate. I just need to remember that empty really means empty!
If you can get to your sending unit without removing the bed, perhaps you can do something similar.
