Was the sender in the tank. You may find that it reads empty when full to the brim and when empty, and reads ok when you have used some fuel out of the tank. This would be due to the copper track on the sender being worn out. Quote

pw8757 Posted January 2, 2009 Posted January 2, 2009 And the good news is that whilst you are looking at the fuel gauge sender, you'll also be in a position to look at the rear floor pan and treat the rust before it takes hold....... (As I found this week when I took out the carpets to fit a DAB radio Ariel.................) Quote
