Trash builds up at the bottom of your Gas Tank over the years and that can get sucked up into your carburetor and cause you motor to run bad or even not start.

What would make the fuel tank say empty when you just filled up the tank?

It could be that the gauge itself is not working, or it could be a bad sensor. The sensor in older cars is a float which could become stuck, especially if the tank was emptied completely. A blown fuse for the instrument panel will make the tank show empty (or full in some cars). If the car is still not running and the tank shows empty while it is really full, then the fuel pump may be defective. You could not have filled it up all the way.
