fuel level gauge

Recommended Posts

i am having a bit of bother with my fuel level gauge. when i completely fill the tank the level needle points to full. after using about half the tank the needle is on the empty mark. i have to use how many miles i have done as an indicator to fill up! any ideas? sometimes it will wok though!?!?!?!?

Peter, could be the wiper on the sender is damaged/dirty/knackered. It is part of teh fuelpump. Access is in the boot. Half hour job to look at with the right tools. Not worth trying if you dont have the tools/knowledge.

 

A garage would need an hour or so to check it out.

 

Let us know if you want the low down.

 

If you find out you need some parts let us know. I did have a duff pump with good sender in my garage but I cant remember if I binned it?

I definitely have a duff pump in storage, the fuel gauge sender worked fine. I'll dig it out if you're interested.

My local garage fitted my replacement pump inside 10 minutes, it's really not a hard job - you just have to be careful not to get fuel everywhere.
