Γεια σας, καλώς ήλθατε Alex
sounds like time for a new part, perhaps gauge or sensor/sender

I think all 75s have two fuel senders - one on each side of the tank. If both are faulty, check the wiring connector underneath the right-hand rear seat. You need to remove an access panel.

You should also check the gauge on the dash is OK. There is a test that will light up all dash lamps and move the gauge needles.
Holding the trip reset button, turn the key to position I: the display shows "test 1.-".
Release and press the button repeatedly until the display shows "test 19.-": wait for it to change to "Log I -off" and press the button immediately.
Press the button again until it shows "Test 2.-" and press the button again. This will test the dash displays.

I just noticed there is another thread running with same info - sorry for duplication.
