Known problem with the tank senders. Either only fill your clk half way, or spend the $$ and have the fuel tank senders replaced. Do a search, plenty of topics about this problem.

That happened to me about three years ago due to tainted gas around the country... too much sulfur I believe was the issue. It oxidized and damaged the sensors. Chevron ended up paying for the repair directly.Check around and see if there is a new issue going around with bad fuel. IThe repair was $800-$900 here in Tampa.
