Turbine aircraft measure fuel LEVEL by capacitance systems and are periodically calibrated with a screwdriver to be right on.

 They also have a separate low level WARNING system that is a float system and lights a light to indicate 10 to 20 minute level.

 If the gauge reads low and the light is out, go with the gauge. Float may be sticking. If the light comes on and the gauge says plenty, go with the low light. There may be water in suspension in the fuel causing a high reading. Water and fuel have different resistance.
