Sounds like your petrol sender unit ( float ) is stuck or broken.
Did you let the fuel get really low recently? |

This is a known problem with the sulpher content in fuel stuufing up the tank sender. Mine did this for a while then went back to normal. Could have been the change to exclusive PULP use with a new Unichip tune that helped or the thing just eventually self cleans?
