Fill it with the gas can and then go to a gas station. Your gas can can't be much bigger than 5 gallons, there's very few that are larger because they get heavy. Your gas tank is vastly more than 5 gallons, probably 15 or more in an Envoy.
Gas gauge readings are controlled by the sending unit on the fuel pump. I do not believe there is a separate fuse for any particular gauge. In order to fix it, you have to remove the fuel pump from the gas tank, determine if the float is stuck or the sending contacts are out of alignment or dirty. Some can be repaired, but most are not serviceable. Remedy: replace the fuel pump and sending unit assembly. I would first inspect the wiring from the fuel pump connector(s) to make sure you have good connection and wire integrity.
The fuel level sensor is in the gas tank, and if it needs to be replaced, the tank must be removed from the truck. Does your gas gauge work correctly? If not, there could be a bad connection at the tank/sensor or the sensor itself is defective.
hi,
there is a float that floats on top of the gas inside the gas tank. this is connected to the sensor which goes to the fuel gauge. this float may have come off or got saturated with fuel so the sensor arm is stuck at the bottom of the tank. you can take the car up to autozone for a OBD reading but it will most likely have to have to have a new assembly. its inside the gas tank. the gas tank has to come out and it takes a weekend to do this. if you have a handyman in the family tell him you need a new sending unit in your gas tank. it may be integrated with the fuel pump as a whole assembly. you can go to autozone.com for the instructions. I will send along a link. the procedure isnt too bad usually if you take your time. run it all the way down on gas and keep a spare gas can if you run out. get it home on empty and drop the tank.
good luck and be careful.

It is most likely your fuel level sending unit has gone bad. It sits inside your fuel tank to tell the fuel guage how much gas you have in the tank.
The sending unit for the gas gauge is in the fuel tank and part of the fuel pump module, it is not sold seperately. Price is around $350.00, 2 hours labor to install the part.
it needs a new float. it will be available to you at your local GM dealer. u need to remove the tank and fuel pump assembly. replace the gauge float and reinstall
most likely need a fuel level sensor
you need to remove the fuel tank then remove
remove the fuel pump module
the sensor is on the side of the fuel pump module (the float is part of the sensor)
hope this helps
if you put any gas in the fuel tank the fuel gauge needle should move toward full mark.if not you have a faulty fuel level sending unit.its in the fuel tank attach to the fuel pump assembly.
Common problem on the 03-06 Envoy instrument clusters for the fuel gauge to go out. It's usually caused by one of two main problems, either the stepper motor on the cluster's circuit board is going out or the sending unit on the fuel pump is going out.
