Fairly common problem usually caused by a bad fuel level sensor. It's part of the pump assembly in the tank.

Mine does that every once in a while too, right after a fill-up. Will never do it after I have used a gallon or so.

Mine has been doing it off and on for several years. It might work fine for a couple months then it's back a few weeks then gone again. It has a mind of it's own. I just live with it.
