Mate, I have the invoice to prove the fuel pump was changed, the fuel gauge worked fine.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
The fuel pump I paid for was supposedly a TRE uprated pump as reccomended by the trader instead of what I wanted my usual Walbro 255 LPH.

Fine, if a TRE is just as good, not as loud and slightly cheaper then I was fine with that.

But as far as we can tell it was a cheap probably Chinese copy from eBay that started to give up after a hundred miles.

Cost?

£20.

I've never claimed I've driven hundreds of miles with the gauge at 0.

The gauge moved up when the tank was filled but it ran out of fuel when the needle was showing just below a quarter tank when I was on the way to fill up with fuel.

So I'd never had the car that low before since the swap.

Yes the needle was showing the fuel was low, under a quarter tank,

but not ultra low and no warning light.

So basically the gauge works fine so to speak but when the car got under a quarter tank which is generally as low as I'll let it go, is when I always fill up again.

But the gauge showed just under a quarter tank, no warning light and the car ran completely dry this time.

I'm genuinely sorry for ranting buddy, I really am.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
But the absolute messes that I'm going to have to pay to get sorted has gutted me.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
But I get you, you're right, it's just I've never ever been stung as bad as this before and it really stings.
![](./images/smilies/spacer.gif)
And I do appreciate the help.
