Try checking out your fuse diagram and search for the instrument cluster fuses to make sure they haven't blown, while it could also be something with the sending unit such as the fuel pump or the fuel float. One way to test a bad fuel pump is to insert your key into the ignition and turn it over to only allow the gauge cluster to enlight. If done correctly you should hear a sound come from the rear of the vehicle. That sound comes from the fuel pump meaning that its priming and ready to begin working when the vehicle is turned over.
Why was the battery missing to begin with? I would start by checking all fuses under dash and Central hub. Check for burned in-line fuses,if any, coming off of battery cables.
Not a problem, the fuel pump is in the rear passenger side (under the back seat) pop out the seat held by too clips onto the the rear seat, take out the sound deadining pad, undo the big black cover and get water pump pliers too undo the white cover lift out the pump, you should check the fuel gauge to see how much fuel is in the tank, no need to drain as long as you dont want petrol on your hands.
When you take the pump out, the most common problem is the thin Brown wire snaps off the sender unit, it buzzes but wont start. It should be around £30 for a good second hand pump.
The fuel tank sensor is probably malfunctionibng. This sensor is located in the fuel tank. When the sensor receives a signal from the fuel tank level, this is being transferred to the fuel gauge
Do you mean that the gauge registers as empty, even after the tank is filled? Probably the sending unit needs to be replaced (it's in the tank, likely partially attached to the fuel pump).
