If its the same as my 2001 malibu, you turn the key to the on position leave it on for about 10 mins. When the security light goes off turn the key to off. You should then be able to start the engine normally. Its the worst system ever devised.
Use a gauge and start with 1/2 can - then run engine with AC on high for 3 minutes and then check gauge

The Wedco Nozzle is a CARB compliant spill-proof gas can nozzle. With the nozzle in place you can invert your gas can and it will not leak.

If you lift the nozzle away from the rim the flow stops.

Low battery and when attempting to start car ran battery further down. Date and time went to default settings and fuel gauge registered empty. Charged battery. Fuel gauge still showing nothing. Picked up answer from Audiworld post. Removed fuse 15 (instrument cluster) & 28 (fuel pump), turned on ignition or to start the car - might not start, but mine did), put fuses back in. Fuel gauge now correct.
