Fuel gauge drops when turn left,

There sounds like there is a lot wrong with it. But when I turn left my fuel gauge drops and doesn't rise up unless I turn right, I've had some work done on It. I had it timed again cause it was fuming gas, after that it was fine. I wasn't able to get above 45 mph. Also the timing belt, and The exhaust under the car was clogged, so I replaced that. And I replaced the catalytic converter. It drives fine other than the fuel gauge issue. Oh and I replaced the radiator cap, cause the mechanic said that it was bad and not holding pressure, and so it was sending my antifreeze into the reservoir. But when I did it And toped my radiator off I didn't see bubbles signaling my thermo was opening.

Check wiring to and from the fuel gauge. Something is probably loose.
