gas fuel gauge
Hi,
I think there is something wrong with my fuel gauge. I usually I filled up my gas tanktill it wouldn't take anymore fuel...now this never happened before it took basically almost a day and a half for the gas needle to show full...now i've been driving for5 days and the gas needle is still at full.....how expensive is this to fix?
Thanks

RE: gas fuel gauge
drive until the car stops from being out of gas. then look at the gauge, if it reads full.. then the sender is fubar.
haha.. gotta say man.. driving for 5-6 days is meaningless... the tank holds 50 litres.. and so even if you used the whole tank in 5 days (5*24 =120hours) that would be less than.5 litres per hour.... and for sure that is not happening. How far have you driven? and at what consumption rate?
I think you need to do some more basic troubleshooting before you do a big repair like this, but if you cant provide good data.... for sure the repair shop is gonna screw ya. I mean showing up with a Jag and not knowing how much gas is in your tank is painting a bad picture.
You need to note your mileage carefully, and then refill your tank to know if the gauge is reading properly. then when you go to get the car fixed you should have your tank as close to empty as possible. they will for sure charge more if they have to drain a full tank.
