    Is this a Flex fuel vehicle? If so, may have a bad flex fuel module, it is mounted near the radio. If normal vehicle, need to check fuses, then signal to the fuel tank sending unit, if signal is present at tank, may have a bad sender unit. Rare problem is a bad ground connection for the instrument cluster. Good luck.
