Fuel level tank
« on: 01 September 2025, 15:37:57 »
Hi everybody,

I don't know if it's the car normal behavior but I find the level gauge a bit pessimistic. Over the total 75 liters, when the dash lights on and the board computer says less than 100km left, I only refill 55 to 62 liters every time. You can drive way more than 100km with 15 to 20 liters :o

It seems difficult to know if it's the gauge and light that is out of range, the level sensor in the tank, or the tank vapors that blocks the fuel gun  :-\

Have you already seen this kind of gap when you refill ?

As both the fuel computer and gauge are wrong, the sender is most likely, or corrosion or other continuity issues along the loom.

What happens when you fully fill the tank? Does the fuel gauge read full, or just under?
