Fuel gauge problems in my VT.

[MSE089]

I own a 97' VT SS commodore and recently i filled my tank up and drove home, when i got home i noticed my fuel light was on and it showed empty on my fuel guage. On the trip computer is shows '----' for distance till empty.
Anyone had this happen to them and know how to fix it?
or should i take it in to have it looked at?
im a novice when it comes to cars lol
im 100% percent certain its not empty.

sounds like fuel sender is open circuit, bring it down to me at gaugeworks tomoro if u want and ill have a look at it. propbably just be the resistance card in the fuel sender

busy all week with work. maybe this weekend?
anything i can do to maybe fix it?

[TUF UTE]

nope lol. its a specialised industry. best u can do is try a second hand fuel sender

Whats a new fuel sender worth?
