Default Service Guages light came on & gas tank read empty

The other day I was going along in my 98 with 35,000 miles on the clock.
When all of a sudden I got the warning beep and my DIC said low fuel and my service gauges lit up in red.
My gas tank read completely empty and it was full a few minutes before.
I hit Re-set and that didn't do anything. Finally I stopped and shut the car off & when I restarted it it was gone and the gas gauge read full again.
it was fine for about a week and I had it out over the weekend and while driving it the warning came on again and the tank read empty.
Well after shutting it off and restarting it it was OK.
Anyone have this happen to them and what did you end up doing about it.

Thanks... Steve

As mentioned many posts on this, also a service bulletin. High sulphur content fuel is the culprit.
