I have never been in the tank, but I can imagine it being a delicate operation getting the floats in and out without bending them.



Dash diagnostics will help determine which of the two floats is in error. Using that reading and an empty fuel tank, you could adjust the float by bending, so it just shows empty. It might even be being caught up on the tank's internal plumbing.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
