How to disable the fuel gauge 200

I used to disable the ignition by removing the 25A blade fuse.
That worked great until my son and his friend figured it out.
Later they told me that they got themselves a lifetime supply of those fuses, for that purpose.

As for the fuel gauge idea, I don't think that pretending the tank is nearly empty will have much effect. These guys will drive around on E knowing that they will probably get home OK. Maybe forcing it to read full will scare them one day, when they either realize they've been misled, or when they end up stuck at an inconvenient time.
