If it has a new tank and the gauge has not been reading properly since it was installed and wont start now it might be out of gas.

SOURCE: 2001 chevy silverado 4.8 gas gauge not working properly

Fairly common problem with GM vehicles. The sending unit in your tank has a small circuit board that an arm is attached to which moves up and down according to your fuel level. This circuit board and arm are not making good contact. Unfortunately the only good solution is to replace this part.

Testimonial: "thought probably that was it but better off replacing whole unit .i was for for gauge proplem thanks. "

SOURCE: truck won't start, can't hear either fuel pump 1992 Ford F 150 5.

If you can't hear the fuel pump when you turn the key to the on position trying to build up fuel pressure, it is most likely either a voltage issue at the fuel pump or you need to replace the fuel pump. Have you checked your fuel filter? Try turning on the key without engaging the starter and see if you hear the whine of the fuel pump.

Good Luck

Why is gas shooting out of gas cap?

you have 2 options
1--- put the fuel return line into the tank you are using
2--- install a balance line between tank 1 and tank 2 so that the fuel back to tank1 is allowed to balance back into tank 2

properly set up the tanks should be connected so that the fuel gauge reads the total fuel in the tanks and there is a need for only one fuel pump

Why is gas gauge not working correctly since fuelpump was replaced.

Is this a flex fuel vehicle. If so, call the dealership and ask the parts dept. if there is a gauge module (perhaps behind the instrument cluster). This may be the culprit and needs to be replaced.

Gasoline gauge is erratic; does not show true reading

Most likely it's the sender unit inside the gas tank. Here's a quick test to determine if problem is your dash gauge or the sender unit. At the gas tank, unplug the electrical connector and use a jumper wire to ground the gauge sender wire on the car side of connector (not the tank side of connector). With key on the dash gauge should move to full, meaning your dash gauge is good, but the sender inside tank needs replacing. Check with Ford or a ford guy to see if your tank has to be removed from car to access sender unit. Some cars today have access panels to tank under rear seat.

1996 ford f150 with two tanks. Truck has been running fine and normal til today. Wouldn't start, but when I switched tank from front to rear it started fine and ran fine.Any ideas?Thanks

You may have run out of gas in the front tank, but the gauge may have been reading the rear tank or the front sender is stuck. Is the fuel line switched electrically or manually controlled? How are the gauge connections switched?

1989 F150 4x4 gas tank leaked (rear tank) had it replaced , ran out of gas today @ half tank register on gauge, also oil pressure gauge fluxauting from normal to o. Is it a bad ground, if so where is the...

When replacing the fuel tank often mechanics dont check the gauge, it can be damaged when reinstalling it or if it came with the sendor in it already, often they get knocked around in shipping making them read wrong. And in the shop we always check the oil pressure with a live gauge . you can get one at a local parts store pretty cheap, it comes with a new sending unit and all, and the sending unit is the ground, the gauge has a continuous hot and the sending unit applies a amount of ground to allow the needle to climb.
