So I hadn't driven my car for a week or so and last I remember I though I had 1/2 a tank well I got in and noticed I was out of gas... So I went to the station and it only took 11 gallons... I knew something was up.. got back in and it still read empty... So I now know that my gauge is bad.. Anything to check to maybe fix it? loose wire/fuse anything?
Somethings always gotta break when your saving up...

Disconnect sending unit wire, turn key on, briefly ground wire. Does the needle move? Yes = no gas, bad sending unit, or bad ground between sending unit output pipe and chassis. No = open circuit in wiring, gauge circuit board, or gauge itself. Report your findings and I'll tell you where to go next. Good luck!
