Full tank-fuel gague registers empty-need fuel light is on

Fuel gague went crazy, swinging from FULL to EMPTY and then did not register all. Tank is full but NEED FUEL light remains on.

    So how do you get a new sending unit in there? and how much do they run? my jeep has the same problem. Also if anyone knows how to fix the rear latch so you can open it that is broken as well. I need to open to fix and to get to my tail lights to replace them. If any one can help please do so soon.

There is a sending unit in the fuel tank that registers how much fuel there is. It is probably broken, giving you a funny reading on your gauge.

2003 Honda crv fuel gauge doesn't register full when filling up tank also twice while driving the gauge goes to empty and fuel light comes on

Could be the sending unit in the tank or the gauge on the dash.
A mechanic would test each component by disconnecting the harness at the tank.

When my fuel tank is full the guage registers empty

Could be a problem with the gauge in the instrument cluster, or the wiring that goes back to the tank, or the sending unit in the tank.
The sending unit has a float much like your toilet which could stick or fail to move.
