PCV valve has nothing to do with the fuel gauge or the fuel sending unit in charge of gauging the fuel level.
The level in your take will go up and down when you accelerate and brake as the fuel moves around in the fuel tank.

Fill the tank and see if it reads the level properly.

I have a problem like this on my Camaro. Its my summer car, so I am not that concerned about it cause its in the garage now. I did notice it, I can have like a 1/4 tank left and the guage will go up to like a 1/2 tank and back down. I think it has to do with something with the EVAP system, building to much pressure in the tank, it doesn't purge the vapors properly. Next spring I will tackle it.

EVAP system will not affect how the sending unit senses the fuel level.
