Fuel Tank Filled Up But Gauge Is 75% (¾) by temmym4(m): 7:13pm On Dec 09, 2017 |
Is this normal? I filled up my Tank to the brim this morning and when i started the car, it was just ¾ of the fuel gauge. At first i was thinking it was because of the position i parked during filling, but as soon as i left the filling station, poured little fuel and the stuff was actually full. Please whats wrong? How can i correct this? I have tried removing/Reinserting the Fuel pump fuse. Still the same result. Could the problem be from the Tank? Any solution please? |

mine seems to be the opposite,. I put 6k fuel and the gauge jumped passed the full mark! When the tank wsnt full. I think its the fuel pump sensor or setting thing. |

It takes abt 15 minutes of driving for the guage to move appropriately else it's faulty |

Thanks for the response guys. It was actually faulty. i took it to my mechanic today and he brought out the Pump/Sensor from the Tank (Both were actually designed attached). It was corrected and everything worked fine. Getting to his workshop, my Fuel gauge was already ½. Opening the Tank and we saw that Fuel was filled to the brim. Attached are the pictures before and After.
