I keep hearing this but I still don't understand? How, in what way do you bend it?

Here is the ford sender


Inside the tan plastic housing is where the fuel pump is located, i removed the pump and ran a tube to the bottom of of the tan housing. The sender float which in this picture is shown pointing away from my hand is modified, the stock float arm normally would be hanging out where my hand is in this picture. It doesn't read quite as accurately but it reads in the right direction for the toyota cluster now and will at least let me know when i'm getting low
