remove your cluster and check the connections on the back, maybe there is a intermittant short right there.

Which fuse have you been replacing?
What other loads are also supposed to run off that fuse? (See your owner's manual if you have it.)

You probably have an open circuit in the fuel sender circuit or a float that is stuck in the "full" position.
Probably a bad sender.
The guage in my 89 shows max full for 5-15 minutes after I start the car, then it goes to the correct reading (normally).
The sender unit should have a resistance of 22.5 ohms when the tank is empty and should read 145 ohms when the tank is full (per the 89 EVTM).
