I think I heard, when I had full tank a strange noise coming from the back, knowing that the noise was from the tank, like a drum, when braking.
Yeah sounds like you don't have baffles which means the fuel will move around the tank a lot. My 1.7 didn't have them either but the car was brand new and I got vauxhall to add baffles to the tank right away... So I never saw any fuel needle problem but I'd say that's your issue as I have the baffles now and never seem the needle move like you describe
