Disconnect the battery for a bit, then put it back on. I had a focus that did that, it never went up when it got into the red. Also the range on the MFA never registered so I panicked a bit the first time. Probs just the fuel level sender. Didnt get round to fixing it on the focus cos I hated it and sold it not long after it started happening.

Pull the plug off the sender and earth it out, if the gauge goes up your sender is knackered.
