hey all
as you might have seen - the rada was ran dry on friday.
car feels fine now - still a lil sluggish and holds 5th a bit but im thinking thats coz its been nannered around these last few weeks.
anyhow
filled the car up thismorning - TC said had used 15L, car took 26L - 11L more than TC said we had actually used - i know the TC VS pump isnt always correct, but its never been out that much before..
went out for a cruise -went looking for another 3rd gen as a second car (preferably a KH or KJ verada, but well see)
full tank of fuel to start with, aircon on all the time (set to a refreshing 23degrees) and we did just under 150km,
normally the needle has dropped down to at least 1/3rd used, but today it had barely dropped to 1/4 used - was sitting just above the second 'line / notch' from the full mark (inbetween full and 3/4 if you know what i mean?) i guess technically - it was saying i have used 1/8th of a tank.
just went and checked what the TC has said i used L-wise for that trip
(i reset it each time i fill up)
15.7L USED,
430km RANGE,
and 147.1km TRAVELLED
I didnt get the avg/100 sorry off the TC.
does this sound right?
could my guage / tank sender now be working correctly after running the car dry maybe?
i have allready had the tank sender replaced once and its been back twice more i think because it was still not reading correctly after that.
ideas appreciated thanks muchly :)
