Default Fuel gauge?

My fuel gauge seems to have mind of its own! As my car is lpg I only keep a little bit of petrol in the tank but if I let it go below about 1/8 of a tank when I park up and then start my car in the morning the fuel is gone and With 0 miles remaining.
So I put £10 doesn't move! Then £10 more and another £10 so then I can either drive around for weeks with 0 range showing or put in enough to wake it up then it goes upto about 3/4 or so and goes down pretty normally for a S8.

Anyway after a tipoff from another 8 owner about my missing petrol! After driving around for weeks not knowing how much fuel was in, I disconnected the the battery and on reconnection I now have over 1/2 a tank! So mine and another do it! anyone else?
This was driving me mad I was looking underneath for leaks, wondering if someone was siphoning fuel of me?
Cheers dave
