Fuel Gauge dropped to empty

Hi All

Freelander 2 (2011) l filled the tank to half way before a trip, half way there, furl light came on, fuel gauge was on empty and mileage range dropping fast to zero. No signs of a leak and was able to complete my two hour journey without issues.

I’m going to get someone to look at it, but could really do with some pointers as to what it could be…

Broken wire?

Probably electrical as above, but possibly the transfer pump inside the tank.
It pumps fuel from one side of the tank ‘over the hump’ in the middle to the other side.
If it’s faulty, you have no fuel pumping from the higher side to the lower side.
