The other day I turned my car on, the fuel light came on, the guage was at the bottom and it said there was 6 miles left in the tank, which didn't sound right as it usually warns me at 30 miles left.
I put some fuel in the car and the fuel gauge went up slowly but the miles left to drive only went up to 8, i drove it round for at least 20 minutes to see if that made any difference, but it didn't

Any suggestions on what could be wrong?

TIA

The fuel sender is stuck. Could be some dirt in the tank.
