Narrative:

During cruise phase; we got an ECAM warning; 'fuel automatic feed fault.' followed ECAM procedure. Seconds later; all fuel indications on fuel ECAM page went totally blank. All fuel quantities; both on ECAM and in mcdu; disappeared. Contacted dispatch and maintenance through ACARS 'display call me' function. When dispatch came on; I told them we had a problem and to get maintenance on line. We told both dispatch and maintenance what the problem was. Frequency was very scratchy; maintenance was not able to understand whether we were able to reset circuit breakers. With no fuel indications; all inoperative; we (myself and first officer) decided to get the aircraft on the ground in den. We had dispatched to sfo with the minimum fuel as the new fuel policy wanted. Not being able to follow fuel status for the rest of the flight; taking into consideration future en route fuel burn and any balance problems or leaks; we diverted to den as the safest decision for that moment. Continuation of the flight to sfo did not sound like the best (our) judgement. Uneventful normal landing in denver. Emergency not declared. ATC was told we were doing this as a precautionary.
