You arent running it empty. Your float is off.

When your gauge says empty you probably arent even close.

Now your calling him names? I think both people's wires are shot and the problem is most likely near the tank and outside the car. Lots of debris and exposure to elements will do some work to wires.

Do you have a 2G? They have a saddle-style tank, and fuel from the far side tank may not be getting sucked over to the driver's side.
