Dave already gave some good tips. 

Also:

1. Why the aftermarket repro gas tanks are 15 gallon versions is a good 
question. The '63 Ply 'B' body data sheet I read said 20 gallon 
capacity. Maybe there's a typo in the repro literature? 
sales@xxxxxxxxxxxx is the e-mail addrress of one vendor selling these. 
Why don't you ask them why the difference and let us know what they tell 
you?
 
2. There are also kits that you can buy to clean and seal the gas tank 
you have. POR sells such a kit, as do others.

3. The brass float may have stress crack or super tiny hole that has let 
in a very small amount of gas into the float. This prevents it from 
swinging the sending unit all the way so as to register FULL on the dash 
gauge.
