Had any thunderstorms recently? Suspect a hardware problem, damaged
GPIO input, or the built in pull up/down resitors fried. A floating
input can produce a stream of false transitions. Either try another
GPIO for the guage or fit a 10 k or so pull up/down resistor as
required.
Then think about adding some protection to try and reduce the chances
of the Pi getting zapped again.
