I have the same problem with my bullitt!!
When I fill up it tells me it's empty and
my car runs out of gas when its tells me that I still have a 1/2 of a tank!
From what I researched I need to replace the Sending Unit inside the fuel tank.
The part is around $100.00 but I also want to install a SVT Focus pump while I'm there....
(I should be getting a blower soon!!)

I have this same problem once in a great while. I have an 04 gt. This has happened a couple times to me. I just ignore it and eventually it goes away. I just remember to reset my milage so that I know when I need to refill. I never trust my gas gauge, because I have the same problem on my 05' explorer (still under warranty) and every time it happens I try to take it into the ford dealership and it goes away by the time I can take it in. They said they can't do anything unless I can show them that its happening. I'll admit though, its a pain sometimes.

your float might be sticking then, in my moms chevy astro(total POS) it happen. it turned out to be a bad float and it would read like a 3/4 tank and she would be empty (hers got stuck up) yours might just be stuck down and comes lose. idk. not completly sure on how the stangs fuel readings work.
dont feel bad 98cobra281 i dont think i have one either
