Just wondering... recently i have been having issues with the fuel gauge.
Previously i used to drive around 80km and the level would drop slightly.
At around 250 - 300 kms the gauge would read half way...
At around 400kms (per tank) i would get the fuel light start to come on, which seemed right.
Recently the gauge is out of whack, and wont budge off full until at least 150kms and is over half full at 300km and i dont get the low fuel light at around 10 litres remaining but fuel light works.
I have replaced the Fuel Sender in the fuel tank, and to no avail.
The only thing i have done was replace dash globes with LED ones.
Would the fuel gauge be faulty or could it be something else.
How would one eliminate the faulty gauge or have it fixed or recalibrated short of changing the whole cluster?
Any suggestions?
