Gas guage shows quarter tank, engine shuts down
We own a 2004 XC90, front-wheel drive, 5-cylinder. We were on the highway with a 1/4 tank of gas (& "114 miles to empty tank") showing on the gauge when the car shut down. Luckily I had a friend driving by that took me to the gas station where I purchased & put 2-gallons of gas in the tank & it started right up. My wife has had this happen to her before too at about the 1/4 tank remaining mark. When I went to the gas station to fill up it took about 3/4 of a tank of gas so the gauge was reading correctly. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. Very frustrating.
Thanks

engine shuts down follow-up
I got under the car last night to check the possibility of the tank being dented & it looks to be in great shape. Any other ideas? I have read on other posts about installing a check valve outside the gas tank if the fuel pump is going bad, could this be it?
Thanks
