float could be stuck, or the fuse could be blown, some cars show full,empty or half when there is no voltage (normaly a 10 amp fuse)
Could also be a bad sending unit.
Unfortunately this is located inside the gas tank and is part of the fuel pump assembly. See "Related Questions" below for more
The floater inside your pump is sticking. You will have to replace your fuel pump in order to fix this problem.
The fuel gauge could be getting improper signals from the fuel sensor. The sensor is located inside of the fuel tank.
Most likely, there is a small hole in the plastic float in your gas tank's sending unit. As the float fills with fuel,it sinks to the bottom of the tank and sends an "empty" signal to the gas gauge. You're gonna need a new fuel pump. Scott
Fuel tank sending unit. Fuse.
fuel sending unit in the fuel tank..... cost alot of $ and you have to cut the exhaust...... just keep it full and drive that mf'er
A gas gauge that appears to read backwards typically indicates that the gauge is calibrated incorrectly or that there is a malfunction in the fuel level sensor. In some vehicles, the gauge may show empty when there is fuel in the tank or vice versa, leading to confusion. This issue can arise from wiring problems, a faulty sensor, or even a software glitch in modern vehicles. It's advisable to have the gauge checked by a professional to ensure accurate readings.
it might be a fuse
There is no answer to this question as all makes of cars have different gas tank and gage designs, one will be bone dry while another car will still have a gallon left in the tank even though both gages read empty.
The fuel pump will still try to pump fuel even if the tank is empty.
The grounding strap on the fuel tank has come loose or rusted away. To test this theory, take a wire and hold it against the bare metal of the gas tank and the bare metal of the frame of the car while someone watches the fuel gauge (car must be running).
In most cases the sending unit in the tank is at fault.
It's either the in-tank sensor, in-dash gauge, a connector, broken wire or a bad fuse. I know that's not much help, but that's the best anyone could do for you without more information.
