Check the right rear wheel well, there is a steel plate on top of the frame.
Is it damp in this area? ???
yes...
replace fuel lines. very common issue of alum lines getting a hole .
temporary fix is a rubber hose in this area.
No...
check dual tank valve switcher, this controls which tank the fuel comes from, gauge it uses...
common issue of switch not moving all the way one way.
