happened to me after a trip... however it had been playing up a little bit proir to that... ended up with a complete new fuel-pump assembly as they changed the part number or something... didn't cost me anything as it was covered under warranty.
scared the crap out of me as i was 50kms (35miles) from the nearest petrol station and the gauge went empty...
it looks like something you can replace yourself i had a good look at the manuals and felt comfortable doing it.
good luck
