Fuel guage
I'm not convinced the fuel guage is reading correctly so I used the test function and got the attached reading.
Any ideas? |

Hello Simon,
I don't think there's anything wrong with your fuel gauge. The two tank senders are wired in series so it is impossible to have separate readings as the IPK diagnostics guide suggests (its source is BMW cars I understand). You appear to have a total of 33.1 litres in the tank which is about 7.3 gallons so your gauge should be showing approximately half full. Simon

Cheers Simon
It's an odd one I left home and the tank read below half and got home and it had risen to 3/4 When I can afford too I will brim it and see what happens |
