gas gauge no work

Try running on premium. My gauge didn't work but running a few tanks of premium through it made the gauge work again.

My guess is the sending unit was sticking and the premium dissolved the residue in the float mechanism. Regular might work too but someone smarter than me would know for sure.

Or you could pull the sending unit and clean it/ replace it.

Depending on what model you have will depend on the difficulty of removing the sender unit to inspect and clean. 

It could be a broken wire if you have rodents too. 

Carry a small jerry can with you and learn how far you can drive before you run out of fuel could be a good back up in the interim. 

Cheers
