The fuel gauge will sometimes read empty and sometimes read close to actual but not correct . The top hat can cause that as well ?

The fuel level sensor could be broken or worn causing it read inconsistently. Or the top hat could have broken causing it read incorrectly as the sensor would not know which way is up. Sometimes an in-tank hose can be caught on the sensor and cause it read funny.
The car will fuel starve on right hand turns whether the top hat is broken or not. The less fuel there is in the tank, the more likely you are to experience it. A broken top hat can make it fuel starve much worse.
All the questions will be answered by removing the passenger side assembly and examining it, and testing it if necessary.
