Car wont start - fuel gauge says zero - deffo fuel in there ???

Weird. Wife said there was a strange clicking noise when she opened the door and then car wouldnt start.

I had a look and fuel gauge registered none and light was flashing, so I assumed the silly cow had run out of petrol. Put 5 litres in but its still the same. Engine turning over fine.

Is there a sensor or something thats screwed that is telling the engine theres no petrol?

Just a guess here until someone more knowledgeable comes along, but if the tank had been emptied completely I think it would take more than 5 litres to register plus now you may have all sorts of gunk from the bottom of the tank interfering with the car starting

Either ignition is faulty, or fuel isn't reaching the engine.
