Both fuel gauges read Empty?
Have a '89 F150 w/ dual tanks. Last week my fuel gauge registered at E and will not change even if I switch tanks. The pumps are working, the tanks are switching. And yes, I filled the tanks!
The problem occured at once. Never had fluctuations with gauges before. I did have the fuel filter replaced about a month ago.
Any ideas?

The gauges read empty at low resistance, and full at high resistance - or open. Sounds like you have a short to ground at the switch, or a defective gauge.
