Luckily Wilson came to the rescue with a 5 litre tin of gas and topped it up.
Well, the next day, ripped out both my Left and Right float device and did a voltage test on it..all seems fine. Tested the fuel cross feed return line....also fine. Needle moves down as per normal consumption too. DOnt seem to be anything wrong with the instrument cluster.
Anyone encoutered this? Phantom incidents is starting to emerge already....weird. Guess I am now heading towards the maintainance era whereas before was mod mod mod!

Hi,
I had the same problem when I first got my e46. The guage was at 1/4 when the gas run out. In fact, I had the same problem twice and was really pissed. Lucky thing I managed to pull to the side of the road on time.
I sent it in to PML....and they told me nothing wrong with fuel tank. I think they took out the fuel tank and check the gauge....
After that, I never encounter any problem anymore. The amber came on when it is near to empty so I guess it all went back to normal. My car was just one and half year then. Cheers!
