its a fairly easy problem to fix......it sounds like your fuel tank float is either stuck (or most likely stopped working) ......i need information on the car

But, if the light comes on when the fuel is really low, the float may be fine. Check the float first to see if it had come unlodged. If its fine, it may be the actual gauge in the dash.
