Hi a few months back my wife was using my 460 to travel to work when it ran out of petrol. When I put any petrol in I always reset the milage however she said that according to the gauge the car had fuel in it. A few days later I was driving the car and the gauge suddenly dropped then came back up again! The fault was traced to a dodgy conection on the alternater! So I would check the condition of the wiring and conections under the bonnet!
