Default ML 430, 2001 Fuel gage stopped working.

The fuel gage on my 2001 ML 430 suddenly stopped working. It stopped working right after I filled it up about two days ago. First, the gage was stock at the ¾ level. within 45min it went down to the empty level. The yellow “out of fuel” warning indicator is on. Can anyone help with the diagnosis?
Thanks

Same thing happened to my 99' 430 -

Internal Fuel Tank float sensor doodad stuck -

Dealer quoted me $780.00

My mech told me to drive over a curb and bounce the rear end -

2 tries and it worked !

Ok I found several posts on this issue on MBWorld Discussion Forums:

It It appears to be a problem with the contacts on sensors in the fuel tank.
