Default fuel gauge stuck on full..

Ok yesterday when I was driving home the fuel gauge just started going up slowly until it hit full..when I turn the ignition on it goes down about 1/4 and goes right back up..it had a little less than a half tankwhen it did this. also a few days ago I ran out of gas but the gauge read 1/4 left..anyone know what the problem could be??
