Re: Petrol Gauges
I always make a habit of resetting the mileage trip meter to zero on filling the tank, that way I know roughly the miles I have done whatever happens. At 58mpg and knowing both the tank capacity and how much fuel was purchased, it's easy enough to work out how much fuel has been used and fill up when required.Re: Petrol Gauges
Probably a problem with the sender in the fuel tank Mups. Sometimes these are easy to get at through the boot floor, and sometimes it means removing the fuel tank, but I've no idea on cost you would have to ask at the garage.Re: Petrol Gauges
I agree, the sender sounds like the problem or the float is stuck inside the tank. Not normally a difficult job to fit a new one.Re: Petrol Gauges
Most cars manufactured in the past 20 or so years have a delayed fuel gauge to stop any needle bounce from the fuel slopping around the tank while driving. If yours does not move after say around 3 to 5 mins after filling, then I would suggest your sender unit in the tank needs removing and checking or replacing after the wiring/grounding had been checked.Re: Petrol Gauges
best let a garage replace the sender, easy enough to do the only problem is making sure the gasket is sealing the sender to the tank properly or you will get petrol fumes in the car. Unit should cost around £25/30 plus fitting so not an over expensive item to replace.
