Fuel Guage Inaccurate

VW has solved the fuel guage problem. VW claims the sulfur deposits on the contacts of the fuel sending unit, thus they lead to inaccurate reading.

The new fuel sending units are now made in Gold, Silver, and a small amount of nickel to prevent chemical reaction with sulfur. Does anyone know if MB has the same remedy? I suspect these fuel sending unit are either made by Bosch or Hella.
