How much gas are you putting in the tank every time? Also, how big is the tank? If the tank is (for discussion only) 20 gallons and you put in 18 gallons, the sending unit arm is stuck on top of a baffle and reading incorrectly.

it is possible the Fuel Tank Pressure sensor is not operating properly. This can allow pressures to build up in the tank and will cause the vehicle to run lean.
