Fords typically have issues with fuel gauges. By the sounds of it, something within the cluster is wrong.
Perhaps putting you dash into Diagnostic mode and looking at screens 1 and 7. If the indicate a reading, your dash guage may be broken. There is a earlier thread on how to enter diag mode, just search for it.
