Depends on what you consider a big problem. Parts will be in the
neighborhood of $300 and you'll have to drop your gas tank to replace the
sender. Likely you'll have to replace some gas line at the same time. Not
guaranteed, because if you live in a climate that does not cause a lot of
corrosion, your lines may be ok, but it's at least reasonable to expect you
may find some pretty corroded gas lines.

I have the same problem on my Pontiac. The shop that replaced
the tank didn't replace the sender for the fuel gauge. I carry around
a 1 gallon gas container now. Had to use it many times at first.
If you don't fix it, you will get to know how far you can go
on a measured amount of fuel. Like: always put in 8 gallons and
you'll know when it's time for more, by watching the mileage guage.

Why not just get the sender replaced? Why not simply fill it up and then
multiply the mpg by the number of gallons you added, to indicate how far you
can go? Why always put in 8 gallons?
