Blazer 4WD 6-cyl

I have a 1996 Chevy Blazer and the gas hand floats. It does not give an accurate reading on the gas gauge. I can drive and it will float from 1/2 tank to 1/4 tank while driving. It floats no matter how full or empty the tank is. It has caused me to run out of gas due to the inaccuracies. I have another GM vehicle--1993 Suburban that has the same exact issue. I have ran out of gas on the freeway on the way to the airport--only thing that saved me and my children at 2:00 am in the morning was that I have roadside.
