Default fuel system problem

I brought an 04 vert yesterday, today the low fuel massage came on so i go & fill her up, the pump stops @ 9 gal & will not go any more I get in the car & it shows a little over 1/2 tank. I know the car has 2 tanks, can someone give me an idea what I' looking at here.

The old stuck fuel sender problem. You probably do have a full tank now. The best fix is to add a can of Techron to clean up the sulphur deposit's on the sender. I run Chevron techron in my '01 every few fill ups to keep it clean.

Mine was foing the same thing, gets stuck around 1/2 tank. Back to back treaments with Techron seem to have cleared it up. I also keep filling up at the Chevron station, sees to have helped.
