We were in cruise flight enroute; when EICAS message fuel imbalance was presented on EICAS message quickly cleared and was followed by FUEL 1 LOW LEVEL; dashes where presented on tank 1 indicator. Message cleared on EICAS then FUEL 2 LOW LEVEL EICAS message presented. That message cleared and we had no fuel level indications (all dashes). At this time we ran fuel low level QRH which directed us to land at the nearest suitable airport. We decided on a nearby airport which was approximately 120 NM away. Fuel flow indications were normal with changes in power settings. We coordinated with Dispatch who also patched Maintenance in; ATC; and briefed the Flight Attendant. We proceeded to the divert airport and landed. Upon landing we coordinated with Dispatch; station Operations and Maintenance.
An EMB-145 EICAS alerted FUEL 1 LOW LEVEL followed by FUEL 2 LOW LEVEL with both systems indicating faults; so after running the QRH and communicating with Dispatch the flight diverted to a nearby airport.
