Exclamation C32 Fuel "Needle" not working

Im driving this morning, and i noticed my fuel was low "orange light on" so then went to a nearby gas station and put 20$ worth of 93 octane gas in. when I was done pumping gas and got back into car I noticed that fuel gauge had risen. Next I get on express way, 2min later i notice that my fuel needle is all the down, and no orange gas light on.

Ive read a few other post on this on no certain fix, checking for any updates and fixes?

Fixed! went to put another 5gal in the tank, noticed reserve tank light came back on and needle began to slowly rise. I pulled to the house disconnected battery terminal for 10min and restart, Everything back to normal, hope this helps anyone having similar problems in future.

c32 is heavy on gas from super charger whining all the time when u hit the throttle, with low gas in tank hitting throttle to the limit a huge gulp will drink your tank quickly

Similar, but different...
I got in my C32 the other day and the COMAND radio/CD/etc was not putting out sound.
Stopped at FedEx, shut the car off, got back in, radio works!
Electronics on this car react well to a reboot every now and then.

The float gets stuck when you run it low on gas often, has happened to me a few times. A full tank will fix the problem most times, as it forces the float up.
