2012 XF Portfolio V8 Gas Gauge.
Was reading about 3/4 full.
Suddenly the warnings come on the dash. It’s showing empty.
it’s obviously not empty.
Turned it off. Turned it on. No change.
ideas?
Common problem?
Car has like 48k miles.

This is a known issue with the connectors on the fuel level sensor on the pump module that sits inside the tank. I've attached the TSB that describes the issue and how to fix it, along with the workshop manual section to remove it.
I'd recommend a fuel ring removal tool as mine needed not only this but a breaker bar with a cheater bar on top, but apparently others have had success removing theirs with a screwdriver and a hammer.

I can fill my tank but it'll show that there's 1/8 or so less
I can go back and keep doing the gas pump till it kind of shoots out some fuel from the filler and itll still show about 1/8 leas than full
hopefully extended warranty covers it

Definitely the same issue as in that TSB I posted above - those were the symptoms I experienced.
