Fuel guage problem

[Chas]

Today I filled the LPG tank and the petrol tank, Gas £60.66, petrol £82, a total cost of £142.66 , before filling, the fuel gauge read about half full, after brimming it it now reads empty

Some one has put the wires on the wrong way around?

 

[Chas]

No, I drove in to the petrol station with half a tank and after filling drove out with it saying empty

Hole in the tank? Youve just poured £82 worth of petrol on the forecourt floor!

see what happens when you've used a bit, maybe it will start working again and it's just the full end of the sensor has failed.

Thanks Jon, I did wonder if it might right itself, I'll wait and see.
