Factor(s):

1- "Possible" bad fuel indicator/gauge/gage.

2- "Possible" break in the fuel signal wiring between the indicator and the sending unit.

3- Possible" defective sending unit located inside the fuel tank ( normally, fuel pump and sending unit are into single unit assembly).

4- Or, YOU thought you filled the tank but it's actually empty?! -Just kidding!
