the problem is probably gonna be a defective fuel sending unit on the fuel pump. i hate to say it but you'll need another fuel pump. the sending unit comes on it. i would drive it till you know when it's time to fill up then replace it. before you do, make sure all the connections to the pump are good. if so and the problem still exists, replace the pump and send the other back for a warranty. good luck
