Did you switch of the car while filling the fuel?
If you did not please switch off the car and then refuel. Hope this solves your problem.

It maybe that the tank sender is stuck if you have ran it right down,or not working correctly, these cars have a saddle tank and are prone to faults.Try putting another tenner of fuel in as not a lot in such a large vehicle.If it still not working try disconnecting the car battery then re-connecting it .

If it's still not working , try banging fuel tank as it may be fuel tank unit float stuck .
