Once the tank is physically only half full and under it will read less, properly.

Also, the empty fuel light seems to always be on.

If I stick a full tank in gauge reads half.
If I stick 3/4 in it still reads half.
Once the tank is physically only half full and under it will read less, properly.However, it won't read on empty once I'm on empty.
I actually ran out of fuel because of this.
Also, the empty fuel light seems to always be on.This can be when I have half a tank, half a tank, half a tank, and a little less than half a tank.

Spent ages trying to work out why my turbo had a high idle speed.It didn't actually, the previous owner hadn't fitted the tacho needle back correctly when he fitted Lockwood dials.
Just add injury to insult, he also fitted blue leds at the same time, so all the needles were actually invisible at night![]()
